In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a fitting requital, 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
