In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
