In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 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 thereby corn and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
