In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1. About what are they questioning one another?

2. About the great news.

3. Concerning which they are in disagreement.

4. No; they will soon know.

5. Then no; they will soon know.

6. Have We not made the earth a resting place?

7. And the mountains as stakes.

8. And created you in pairs.

9. And made your sleep a rest.

10. And made the night a covering.

11. And made the day for livelihood.

12. And built above you seven strong ones.

13. And placed therein a blazing lamp.

14. And sent down from the rainclouds abundant water.

15. That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation.

16. And lush, intertwined gardens.

17. Surely, the Day of Judgment is an appointed time.

18. The Day the trumpet is blown, and you will come forth in crowds.

19. And the heaven is opened, becoming gateways.

20. And the mountains are set in motion, becoming a mirage.

21. Surely, Hellfire lies in ambush.

22. A destination for the transgressors.

23. Remaining therein for ages upon ages.

24. They will taste therein neither coolness nor drink.

25. Except scalding water and intensely cold, foul fluid.

26. A fitting recompense.

27. Indeed, they did not expect a reckoning.

28. And utterly denied Our verses.

29. And all things We have enumerated in writing.

30. So taste; We will not increase you except in punishment.

31. Surely, for the righteous is triumph.

32. Gardens and grapevines.

33. And full-breasted maidens of equal age.

34. And a full cup.

35. They will hear therein neither vain speech nor falsehood.

36. A reward from your Lord, a generous gift, precisely measured.

37. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Most Merciful; they possess no authority to speak before Him.

38. The Day the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows; they will not speak except one whom the Most Merciful permits, and who speaks rightly.

39. That is the True Day; so whoever wills, let him take a path of return to his Lord.

40. Surely, We have warned you of a near punishment — the Day when a person will see what his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, would that I were dust!"
