In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining 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 gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
