1. |
Of what do they ask one another?
|
2. |
About the great event,
|
3. |
About which they differ?
|
4. |
Nay! they shall soon come to know
|
5. |
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
|
6. |
Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
|
7. |
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
|
8. |
And We created you in pairs,
|
9. |
And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
|
10. |
And We made the night to be a covering,
|
11. |
And We made the day for seeking livelihood. |
12. |
And We made above you seven strong ones,
|
13. |
And We made a shining lamp,
|
14. |
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
|
15. |
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
|
16. |
And gardens dense and luxuriant.
|
17. |
Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:
|
18. |
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you.shall come forth in hosts
|
19. |
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,
|
20. |
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.
|
21. |
Surely hell lies in wait,
|
22. |
A place of resort for the inordinate,
|
23. |
Living therein for ages.
|
24. |
They shall not taste therein cool nor drink
|
25. |
But boiling and intensely cold water,
|
26. |
Requital corresponding.
|
27. |
Surely they feared not the account,
|
28. |
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
|
29. |
And We have recorded everything in a book,
|
30. |
So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.
|
31. |
Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,
|
32. |
Gardens and vineyards,
|
33. |
And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age,
|
34. |
And a pure cup.
|
35. |
They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.
|
36. |
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:
|
37. |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent God, they shall not be able to address Him.
|
38. |
The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent God permits and who speaks the right thing.
|
39. |
That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
|
40. |
Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
