In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great event, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
