In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its 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 vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
