In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they differ? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 It will be a place of return 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
