Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse (as a bed),
7
And the mountains as pegs?
8
And (have We not) created you in pairs,
9
And made your sleep for rest,
10
And made the night as an umbrella of peace,
11
And made the day for finding livelihood
12
And (have We not) built over you the seven strong arches of the heavens?
13
And placed (in there) a Light of brilliance?
14
And do We not send down from the clouds water, in plenty?
15
That We may produce with it, corn and vegetables,
16
And gardens of rich growth?
17
Surely, the Day of Judgment is an event appointed—
18
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded and you shall come forward in crowds;
19
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,
20
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.
21
Truly, Hell is like a place of ambush—
22
For those who fought (against Faith); (Their) place of eternal stay:
23
They will live in there for ages.
24
Nothing cool shall they taste there, nor any drink,
25
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, grim, bitterly cold—
26
A fitting return (for their actions and for them).
27
Because, they did not fear any accounting (of their deeds),
28
But they (grimly) treated Our Signs as false.
29
And all things, We have preserved on record.
30
So taste you (the reward), because We shall not grant you any increase except in (your) punishment.
31
Surely, For the righteous there will be a fulfillment of (their hearts) desires;
32
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;
33
Companions of equal age;
34
And a Cup full (to the very top).
35
In there, they shall not hear useless talk, vanity (and they shall not hear) anything false—
36
Reward from your Lord a gift, (large and) sufficient,
37
(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between— (Allah) Most Gracious (Rahmán): None shall have power to argue with Him.
38
The Day that the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak, except anyone who is permitted by (Allah): Most Gracious (Rahmán), and he (the speaker) will say (only) what is correct.
39
Surely, that Day will be the Reality: Therefore, let anyone who wishes, let him take a (straight) path returning to his Lord!
40
Surely, We have warned you of a penalty near— The Day when man will see (the very acts) which his hands have sent forward, and the unbelievers will say, "Misery upon me! I may as well be (mere) dust!"
