In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (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 We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
