Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

as rendered by Torres Al Haneef (partial translation) — 40 verses

What do they question each other about
About the awesome news [of the Resurrection and life after death
which they cannot agree on
No! But they will come to know (soon enough)
No! Surey they will find out
Have We not made the earth easy and wid
"and (We made) the mountains as pegs (to hold it firm),"
"and created you in pairs,"
"and have made your sleep for rest,"
"and have made the night as a cloak,"
and have made the day as a time to earn your living
"And We have built above you seven strong heavens,"
"and have made a blazing lamp [the sun],"
and have sent down from the rain clouds abundantwater
"so that We may produce with it grain and vegetables,"
"and gardens, thick with leaves."
Surely the Day of Decision has a set time
"a Day when the trumpet will be blown, and you shall come in great crowds"
"and the heaven will be opened as if there were gates (in it),"
and the mountains shall vanish as if they were a mirage
"Surely Hell is waiting in ambush, "
"a home for those who pass the limits,"
"living there for ages,"
"tasting no coolness there, nor any drink"
"except boiling water and filthy fluids [such as the sweat, tear, and pus of the people of Hell]:"
a punishment to fit the crime
"Look, they did not think that their deeds would be counted,"
but they called Our verses lies and denied them
and We have recorded everything in a Book
So taste (what you have earned). We will not give you more of anything except punishment
"Truly, for the righteous ones there will be a place of victory --"
private gardens and grapevines
"and young women, the same age (as them, for company),"
"and a cup, full (to the brim)."
"There, they never hear trivial talk [useless, vain, idle talk; speaking of things which are not important] or lies --"
a reward from your Lord; a satisfying gif
"(from) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Merciful, with Whom no one has the power to argue."
"On the day the Spirit [e.g. Jibr???l] and the angels stand in rows, no one will speak except he who has the permission of the All-Merciful, and who says what is right."
"That is the Day of Truth; so whoever wishes should find a way to return to his Lord [through obedience to Allah's commands, which will save one from punishment]!"
"Truly, We have warned you about a nearby punishment, on a Day when a man will see (the deeds) that his own hands have sent before him, and the disbeliever will cry, 'Oh, if only I were dust!'"
