In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
