In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
