In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
