In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
