Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

as rendered by Hasan Al-Fatih Qaribullah — 40 verses

What do they question each other about
About the Great New
whereupon they are at variance
Indeed, they shall know
Again, indeed, they shall know
Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs
And We created you in pairs
and We made your sleep a rest
and We made the night a mantle
and We made the day for a livelihood
And We built above you seven strong ones
and placed in them a blazing lamp
and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain
that We may bring forth with it grain, plant
and luxuriant gardens
Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time
the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowd
and heaven is opened, having gates
and the mountains move, and vaporize
Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush
a return for the insolent
there, they shall live for ages
tasting neither coolness nor any drink
except boiling water and pu
for a suitable recompense
Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning
and they absolutely belied Our verses
and everything We have numbered in a Book
'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment!
But, for the cautious a place of prosperity
and gardens and vineyards
curvaceous (virgins), of equal ag
and an overflowing cup
There, they shall neither hear idle talk, nor yet any falsehood
a recompense from your Lord, a gift, a reckoning
the Lord of the heavens and earth, and all that is between them, the Merciful, of whom they are unable to speak
On that Day, when the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels stand in ranks they shall not speak, except he to whom the Merciful has given permission, and sayswhat is right
That is the Day, the truth, so whosoever wills takes a way to his Lord
Indeed, We have forewarned you of an imminent punishment, the Day when the person will look upon his works and the unbelievers will say: 'Would that I were dust!
