In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
