In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed, 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 will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
