In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a return for the insolent, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
