| 1. Concerning what are 
												they disputing?
 2. Concerning the Great News,
 
 3. About which they cannot 
												agree.
 
 4. Verily, they shall soon (come 
												to) know!
 
 5. Verily, verily they shall 
												soon (come to) know!
 
 6. Have We not made the earth as 
												a wide expanse,
 
 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 a 
												covering,
 
 11. And made the day as a means 
												of subsistence?
 
 12. And (have We not) built over 
												you the seven firmaments,
 
 13. And placed (therein) a Light 
												of Splendour?
 
 14. And do We not send down from 
												the clouds water in abundance,
 
 15. That We may produce 
												therewith corn and vegetables,
 
 16. And gardens of luxurious 
												growth?
 
 17. Verily the Day of Sorting 
												out is a thing appointed,
 
 18. The Day that the Trumpet 
												shall be sounded, and ye shall 
												come forth 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 as a place of 
												ambush,
 
 22. For the transgressors a 
												place of destination:
 
 23. They will dwell therein for 
												ages.
 
 24. Nothing cool shall they 
												taste therein, nor any drink,
 
 25. Save a boiling fluid and a 
												fluid, dark, murky, intensely 
												cold,
 
 26. A fitting recompense (for 
												them).
 
 27. For that they used not to 
												fear any account (for their 
												deeds),
 
 28. But they (impudently) 
												treated Our Signs as false.
 
 29. And all things have We 
												preserved on record.
 
 30. "So taste ye (the fruits of 
												your deeds); for no increase 
												shall We grant you, except in 
												Punishment."
 
 31. Verily for the Righteous 
												there will be a fulfilment of 
												(the heart's) desires;
 
 32. Gardens enclosed, and 
												grapevines;
 
 33. Companions of equal age;
 
 34. And a cup full (to the 
												brim).
 
 35. No vanity shall they hear 
												therein, nor Untruth:-
 
 36. Recompense from thy Lord, a 
												gift, (amply) sufficient,
 
 37. (From) the Lord of the 
												heavens and the earth, and all 
												between, ((Allah)) Most 
												Gracious: None shall have power 
												to argue with Him.
 
 38. The Day that the Spirit and 
												the angels will stand forth in 
												ranks, none shall speak except 
												any who is permitted by 
												((Allah)) Most Gracious, and He 
												will say what is right.
 
 39. That Day will be the sure 
												Reality: Therefore, whoso will, 
												let him take a (straight) return 
												to his Lord!
 
 40. Verily, We have warned you 
												of a Penalty near, the Day when 
												man will see (the deeds) which 
												his hands have sent forth, and 
												the Unbeliever will say, "Woe 
												unto me! Would that I were (metre) 
												dust!"
