In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
