1. What are they asking (one another)?

2. About the great news,

3. About which they are in disagreement.

4. Nay, they will come to know!

5. Nay, again, they will come to know!

6. Have We not made the earth as a bed,

7. And the mountains as pegs?

8. And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad).

9. And have made your sleep as a thing for rest.

10. And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness),

11. And have made the day for livelihood.

12. And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

13. And have made (therein) a shining lamp.

14. And have sent down from the rainy cloud's abundant water.

15. That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations,

16. And gardens of thick growth.

17. Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

18. The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds;

19. And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gateways,

20. And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.

21. Truly, Hell is a place of ambush,

22. A dwelling place for those who transgress (the limits set by Allah),

23. They will abide therein for ages,

24. Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.

25. Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

26. An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

27. For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.

28. But they denied Our warning messages completely.

29. And all things We have recorded in a Book.

30. So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment.

31. Verily, for the pious, there will be a success;

32. Gardens and grape-yards;

33. And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age;

34. And a full cup (of wine).

35. There they will hear no vain or lying talk:

36. A reward from your Lord, a fitting gift.

37. From the Lord of the heavens and earth and everything between, the Lord of Mercy. They will have no authority from Him to speak.

38. On the Day when the Spirit and the angels stand in rows, they will not speak except for those to whom the Lord of Mercy gives permission, who will say only what is right.

39. That is the Day of Truth. So whoever wishes to do so should take the path that leads to his Lord.

40. Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me! I wish I were dust!"
