In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
