Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 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 dense gardens. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
