In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great event, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 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 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 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
