Of what do they question one another
Of the mighty tiding
whereon they are at variance
No indeed; they shall soon know
Again, no indeed; they shall soon know
Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs
And We created you in pairs
and We appointed your sleep for a rest
and We appointed night for a garment
and We appointed day for a livelihood
And We have built above you seven strong ones
and We appointed a blazing lamp
and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascadin
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants
and gardens luxuriant
Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time
the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops
and heaven is opened, and become gates
and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour
Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush
for the insolent a resort
therein to tarry for ages
tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink
save boiling water and pu
for a suitable recompense
They indeed hoped not for a reckoning
and they cried loud lies to Our signs
and everything We have numbered in a Book
'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.
Surely for the godfearing awaits a place of security
gardens and vineyard
and maidens with swelling breasts, like of age
and a cup overflowing
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, no cry of lies
for a recompense from thy Lord, a gift, a reckoning
Lord of the heavens and earth, and all that between them is, the All-merciful of whom they have no power to speak
Upon the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in ranks they shall speak not, save him to whom the All-merciful has given leave, and who speaks aright
That is the true day; so whosoever wills takes unto his Lord a resort
Lo, We have warned you of a nigh chastisement, upon the day when a man shall behold what his hands have forwarded, and the unbeliever shall say, 'O would that I were dust!
