In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
