In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And dense gardens. 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 will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 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
