Of what do they ask one another
Of the tremendous announcemen
About which they differ
Nay, they will soon know
Nay, again, they will soon know
Have We not made the earth an expanse
And the mountains as pegs
And we have created you in pairs
And made your sleep for rest
And made the night a covering
And made the day for seeking livelihood
And We have made above you seven strong (bodies)
And made a shining lamp
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth in abundance
That We may bring forth thereby grain and herbs
And luxuriant gardens
Surely the day of Decision is appointed -
The day when the trumpet is blown, so you come forth in hosts
And the heaven is opened so it becomes as doors
And the mountains are moved off, so they remain a semblance
Surely hell lies in wait
A resort for the inordinate
Living therein for long years
They taste not therein coolness nor drink
But boiling and intensely cold water
Requital corresponding
Surely they feared not the reckoning
And rejected Our messages, giving the lie (thereto)
And We have recorded everything in a book
So taste, for We shall add to you naught but chastisement
Surely for those who keep their duty is achievement
Gardens and vineyards
And youthful (companions), equals in age
And a pure cup
They hear not therein vain words, nor lying -
A reward from thy Lord, a gift sufficient
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent, they are not able to address Him
The day when the spirit and the angels stand in ranks; none shall speak except he whom the Beneficent permits and he speaks aright
That is the True Day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord
Truly We warn you of a chastisement near at hand -- the day when man will see what his hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will say: O would that I were dust
