In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 It will be a place of return 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
