In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
