1
About what are they asking one another?
2
Is it about the awesome tiding
3
that they are in utter disagreement?[1]
4
No indeed;[1] soon will they come to know;[2]
5
again, no indeed; soon will they come to know.
6
Have We not spread the earth like a bed,[1]
7
and fixed the mountains like pegs,[1]
8
and created you in pairs (as men and women),[1]
9
and made your sleep a means of repose,[1]
10
and made the night a covering,
11
and made the day to seek livelihood,[1]
12
and built above you seven strong firmaments,[1]
13
and placed therein a hot, shining lamp,[1]
14
and sent down abundant water from the clouds
15
so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation,
16
and gardens dense with foliage?[1]
17
Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time;
18
the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes;[1]
19
and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors;
20
and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage.[1]
21
Surely the Hell is an ambush,[1]
22
a resort for the rebellious;
23
therein they shall abide for ages,[1]
24
they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink
25
save boiling water and wash of the wounds;[1]
26
a befitting recompense for their deeds.
27
For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning,
28
and roundly denied Our Signs as false.[1]
29
And everything have We recorded in a Book.[1]
30
So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment.
31
Surely the state of triumph awaits the God-fearing:[1]
32
gardens and vineyards,
33
and youthful maidens of like age,[1]
34
and an overflowing cup.
35
Therein they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood;[1]
36
a recompense from your Lord and an ample reward[1]
37
from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of that which is between them; the Most Merciful Lord before Whom none dare utter a word.[1]
38
The Day when the Spirit[1] and the angels are ranged row on row. None shall speak save he whom the Merciful Lord will permit; and he too will speak what is right.[2]
39
That Day is sure to come. So let him who will seek a resort with his Lord.
40
Lo! We warn you of a chastisement near at hand;[1] the Day when a man will look on what his own hands have sent forth, and the unbelievers shall say: "Oh would that I were utter dust."[2]
