In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
