In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great event, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
