In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
