Concerning what are they disputing
Concerning the Great News
About which they cannot agree
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse
And the mountains as pegs
And (have We not) created you in pairs
And made your sleep for rest
And made the night as a covering
And made the day as a means of subsistence
And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments
And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance
That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables
And gardens of luxurious growth
Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage
Truly Hell is as a place of ambush
For the transgressors a place of destination
They will dwell therein for ages
Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold
A fitting recompense (for them)
For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds)
But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false
And all things have We preserved on record
"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."
Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines
Companions of Equal Ag
And a cup full (to the brim)
No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:
Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient
(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right
That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord
Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
