In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but 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
