5.  *     Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it.
 
6.  *     Have We not made the earth as a place to rest
 
7.  *     and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)?
 
8.  *     Have We not created you in pairs,
 
9.  *     made sleep for you to rest,
 
10.  *     made the night as a covering,
 
11.  *     and the day as time for you to make a living?
 
12.  *     Have We not made seven strong heavens above you,
 
13.  *     (the sun) as a shining torch
 
14.  *     and sent down heavy rains from the clouds
 
15.  *     to make the seeds, plants,
 
16.  *     and thick gardens grow?
 
17.  *     The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment.

19.  *     The heavens will have openings like doors.
 
20.  *     The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages.

23.  *     for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages.
 
24.  *     They will not feel cold nor taste any drink
 
25.  *     except boiling water and pus,
 
26.  *     as a fitting recompense for their deeds.
 
27.  *     They did not expect such a Judgment
 
28.  *     and persistently rejected Our revelations.
 
29.  *     However, We have recorded everything in a book.
 
30.  *     (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you".
 
31.  *     The pious ones will be triumphant.
 
32.  *     They will have gardens and vineyards,
 
33.  *     maidens with pears-shaped breasts who are of equal age (to their spouses)
 
34.  *     and cups full of wine.
 
35.  *     They will not hear therein any unnecessary words or lies.
 
36.  *     This will be their reward from your Lord, a favor from Him and a recompense for their deeds.
 
37.  *     He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He is the Beneficent God and no one will be able to address Him.
 
38.  *     On that day, the Spirit and the angels who stand in lines will not speak except those whom the Beneficent God has permitted, and he will speak the right words.
 
39.  *     That will be the Day of the Truth. So let those who want seek refuge from their Lord.
 
40.  *     We have warned you of the approaching torment. On that day, a person will see what his hands have committed. A disbeliever will say, "Would that I had been dust".
