Qur’an — Page 582 of 604

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٢

About the great news¹ -

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ٣

That over which they are in disagreement.

كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٤

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٥

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا ٦

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا ٧

And the mountains as stakes?¹

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ٨

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا ٩

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا ١٠

And made the night as clothing¹

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا ١١

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا ١٢

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا ١٣

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا ١٤

And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا ١٥

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ١٦

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا ١٧

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ١٨

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا ١٩

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ٢٠

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا ٢١

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا ٢٢

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا ٢٣

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا ٢٤

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا ٢٥

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا ٢٦

An appropriate recompense.¹

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا ٢٧

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا ٢٨

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا ٢٩

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ٣٠

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."¹
