In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
