In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
