In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
