In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
