In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed 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 vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
