About what are they asking
About the mighty even
- the theme of their disputes
Very soon they shall come to know
We repeat, very soon they shall come to know
Is it not true that We have spread the earth like a bed
and the mountains as pegs
created you in pairs
provided you rest in sleep
made the night a mantle
made the day to work for earning your livelihood
built above you seven firmaments
placed therein a shining lamp
sent down abundant water from the clouds
bringing forth grain, vegetatio
and gardens of luxurious growth
The Day of decision is already fixed
On that Day, the Trumpet shall be sounded and you shall come forth in multitude
The sky shall be opened as if there were doors
The mountains shall vanish as if they were a mirage
For sure, the hell shall lie in ambush
to become a home for the transgressors
There they shall live for ages
in it they shall taste neither refreshment nor drink
except scalding water and decaying filth
a fitting recompense for their deeds
For they never expected to be accountable
and wittingly rejected Our revelations
But We had recorded everything in a Book
It will be said: "Taste the fruits of your deeds! You shall have nothing but increase in punishment."
On that Day, the righteous will certainly achieve their Heart’s desires
beautiful gardens, vineyards
and young women of their own age
and overflowing cups
they shall hear no vanity, nor any falsehood
- a recompense from your Lord and a gift beyond their account
from the Compassionate, Who is the Lord of the heavens, the earth and all that lies between them; before Whom no one shall be able to speak
On that Day, the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels shall stand in their ranks; none shall speak except the one to whom the Compassionate (Allah) shall grant permission to speak, and he will speak straight to the point
That Day is a sure reality. Let him who desires, seek a way back to his Lord
Indeed We have forewarned you of an imminent punishment which lies close-at-hand, on the Day when man shall see what his hands have sent forth and the unbeliever will cry: "I wish! I could remain merely dust."
