In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a return for the insolent, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
