In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who 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 made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 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 will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
