In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great event, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
