In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great event, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
