In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
