In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 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
