What do they ask each other about?
About the serious news,
About which they differ.
But no, they will soon know,
Again no, they will soon know.
Did We not make the earth an abode,
And the mountains fixtures,
And created you in pairs?
And We made your sleep for rest,
And made the night a cover,
And made the day for livelihood.
And We built above you seven strong structures,
And placed a glowing light.
And We sent from the clouds driven by wind streaming rain,
To bring out greenery and plants with it,
And lush gardens.
For the day of division is an appointment.
On the day the horn is blown, then you come like swarms.
And the heavens will be opened and have gates.
And the mountains will be moved and become a mirage.
For hell lies in wait,
As a destination for the transgressors.
They will stay trapped in it.
They will neither taste coolness there nor a drink,
Except boiling water and freezing liquid.
A befitting reward.
For they did not hope for the reckoning,
And denied Our signs outright.
And We have preserved everything in a record.
Taste then, We will only increase your punishment.
For those who beware (of Allah) is accomplishment,
Enclosed gardens and grapes,
And youthful maidens,
And filled cups.
They will hear neither idle talk nor lies there.
A reward from your Lord, a measured gift.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Owner of mercy, they cannot speak before Him.
On the day the Spirit and the angels stand in rows nobody will speak except whom the Owner of mercy has given permission and he says what is right.
That is the day of truth, so let whoever pleases set his destination towards his Lord.
We warn you of a close-by punishment on the day a man will look at what he has sent ahead and the one who rejected (the truth) will say: if only I was dust.
