In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 but 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
