In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
