1 Concerning what are they disputing?

Yusuf Ali

2 Concerning the Great News,

Yusuf Ali

3 About which they cannot agree.

Yusuf Ali

4 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!

Yusuf Ali

5 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

Yusuf Ali

6 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

Yusuf Ali

7 And the mountains as pegs?

Yusuf Ali

8 And (have We not) created you in pairs,

Yusuf Ali

9 And made your sleep for rest,

Yusuf Ali

10 And made the night as a covering,

Yusuf Ali

11 And made the day as a means of subsistence?

Yusuf Ali

12 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,

Yusuf Ali

13 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

Yusuf Ali

14 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,

Yusuf Ali

15 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,

Yusuf Ali

16 And gardens of luxurious growth?

Yusuf Ali

17 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,

Yusuf Ali

18 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;

Yusuf Ali

19 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

Yusuf Ali

20 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

Yusuf Ali

21 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,

Yusuf Ali

22 For the transgressors a place of destination:

Yusuf Ali

23 They will dwell therein for ages.

Yusuf Ali

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

Yusuf Ali

25 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,

Yusuf Ali

26 A fitting recompense (for them).

Yusuf Ali

27 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

Yusuf Ali

28 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.

Yusuf Ali

29 And all things have We preserved on record.

Yusuf Ali

30 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."

Yusuf Ali

31 Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;

Yusuf Ali

32 Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;

Yusuf Ali

33 And voluptuous women of equal age;

Yusuf Ali

34 And a cup full (to the brim).

Yusuf Ali

35 No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth: -

Yusuf Ali

36 Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,

Yusuf Ali

37 (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

Yusuf Ali

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.

Yusuf Ali

39 That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

Yusuf Ali

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!"
