In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
