In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
