In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to 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 appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
