In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
