What is it about which they question each other?
[Is it] about the great tiding
the one about which they differ
No indeed! They will soon know
Again, no indeed! They will soon know
Did We not make the earth a resting place
and the mountains stakes
and create you in pairs
and make your sleep for rest
and make the night a covering
and make the day for livelihood
and build above you the seven mighty heavens
and make [the sun for] a radiant lamp
and send down water pouring from the rain-clouds
that with it We may bring forth grains and plants
and luxuriant gardens
Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst
the day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will come in groups
and the sky will be opened and become gates
and the mountains will be set moving and become a mirage
Indeed hell is an ambush
a resort for the rebels
to reside therein for ages
tasting in it neither any coolness nor drink
except boiling water and pu
—a fitting requital
Indeed they did not expect any reckoning
and they denied Our signs mendaciously
and We have figured everything in a Book
So [now] taste! We shall increase you in nothing but punishment
Indeed a triumph awaits the Godwary
gardens and vineyards
and buxom maidens of a like age
and brimming cups
Therein they shall hear neither vain talk nor lie
—a reward from your Lord, a bounty sufficing
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the All-beneficent, whom they will not be able to address
on the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in an array. None shall speak except whom the All-beneficent permits and who says what is right
That is the day of truth. So let anyone who wishes take resort with his Lord
Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand —the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’
