In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 It will be a place of return 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
