In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
