What are they asking about
About the Great News
On which they disagree
Nay, they will soon come to know
Nay, again, they will soon come to know
Did We not make the earth a cradle for you
And the mountains as pegs
And We have created you in pairs
And We have made sleep so that you can rest
And We have made the night as a cloak
And made the day, life. ('Ma'ash' = Economy = Subsistence = All activities of life = The state of living)
And We have built above you seven Cosmic Systems
And We have placed a Dazzling Lamp
And We send down from the rainy clouds abundant water
Thereby to bring forth grain and plant
And gardens of dense foliage
Behold, the Day of Decision is a thing appointed
A Day when the Trumpet is blown, and you come in throngs
When the gates of the sky are flung open. (Mankind learn about the high space)
And the 'great ones' lose power as if they were mirage. (20:105), (56:5), (77:10), (81:3)
Behold, Hell lurks in ambush
A home for the transgressors
They will abide in it for ages. (Hell is not forever. Allah's Grace comes to rescue the dwellers of the Hellfire (6:128), (11:107), (40:12). While the abode of Paradise is Eternal)
Therein they taste not coolness of comfort nor drink of satisfaction
Only burning anguish and ice-cold darkness. (38:37)
A befitting requital
For, behold, they never hoped to be held accountable
And they called Our Messages false with an adamant denial
But We place on Record everything
So, now, taste nothing but increasing punishment
Behold, there is supreme fulfillment for those who walk aright
Beautiful gardens and vineyards
And splendid companions, well-matched. (56:37)
And a cup of delight overflowing
They shall hear no senseless talk, nor falsification therein
Reward from your Lord, a generous gift
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them, the Beneficent. None has the power to lecture Him
On the Day when the Divine Energy and the Universal forces stand forth in ranks, none will speak but he whom the Beneficent allows and say only what is right
That Day will be the Moment of Truth. So whoever wills, let him take the path that leads toward his Sustainer
Behold, We warn you of a retribution near at hand. A Day when every person will see what his own hands have sent forth. And when the denier of the Truth will say, "Oh, I wish I were mere dust."
