In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
