In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 Living therein 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 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
