Of what ask they of one another
Of the great NEWS
The theme of their disputes
Nay! they shall certainly knows its truth
Again. Nay! they shall certainly know it
Have we not made the Earth a couch
And the mountains its tent-stakes
We have created you of two sexes
And ordained your sleep for rest
And ordained the night as a mantle
And ordained the day for gaining livelihood
And built above you seven solid heavens
And placed therein a burning lamp
And we send down water in abundance from the rain-clouds
That we may bring forth by it corn and herbs
And gardens thick with trees
Lo! the day of Severance is fixed
The day when there shall be a blast on the trumpet, and ye shall come in crowds
And the heaven shall be opened and be full of portals
And the mountains shall be set in motion, and melt into thin vapour
Hell truly shall be a place of snares
The home of transgressors
To abide therein ages
No coolness shall they taste therein nor any drink
Save boiling water and running sores
Meet recompense
For they looked not forward to their account
And they gave the lie to our signs, charging them with falsehood
But we noted and wrote down all
"Taste this then: and we will give you increase of nought but torment."
But, for the God-fearing is a blissful abode
Enclosed gardens and vineyards
And damsels with swelling breasts, their peers in age
And a full cup
There shall they hear no vain discourse nor any falsehood
A recompense from thy Lord-sufficing gift!
Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and of all that between them lieth - the God of Mercy! But not a word shall they obtain from Him
On the day whereon the Spirit and the Angels shall be ranged in order, they shall not speak: save he whom the God of Mercy shall permit, and who shall say that which is right
This is the sure day. Whoso then will, let him take the path of return to his Lord
Verily, we warn you of a chastisement close at hand: The day on which a man shall see the deeds which his hands have sent before him; and when the unbeliever shall say, "Oh! would I were dust!"
