What is it that they are questioning each other about?!

[Is it] about the Great Tiding,

الَّذِىْ هُمْ فِيْهِ مُخْتَلِفُوْنَؕ‏(3)

No indeed! Soon they will know for once again!

اَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْاَرْضَ مِهٰدًا ۙ‏(6)

Did We not make the earth a resting place?

وَّالْجِبَالَ اَوْتَادًا ۙ‏(7)

WAL JEBAALA AWTAADANW

and the mountains stakes?

وَّخَلَقْنٰكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا ۙ‏(8)

and create you in pairs?

وَّجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ۙ‏(9)

and make your sleep for rest?

وَّجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ۙ‏(10)

WA JA-A’LNAL LAYLA LEBAASANW.

and make the night a covering?

وَّجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا‏(11)

WA JA-A’LNAN NAHAARA MA-A’ASHANW.

and make the day for livelihood?

وَّبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ۙ‏(12)

and build above you the seven mighty heavens?

WA ANZALNAA MENAL MO’SERAATE MAAA-AN SAJJAAJAL.

and luxuriant gardens?

اِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيْقَاتًا ۙ‏(17)

INNA YAWMAL FASLE KAANA MEEQAATANY.

Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst,

YAWMA TUNFAKHO FIS SOORE FA-TAATOONA AFWAAJANW.

WA SUYYERATIL JEBAALO FA KAANAT SARAABAA.

and the mountains will be set moving and become a mirage.

اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ۙ‏(21)

INNA JAHANNAMA KAANAT MIRSAADAL.

Indeed hell is in ambush,

a resort for the rebels,

a fitting requital.

اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ حِسَابًا ۙ‏(27)

INNAHUM KAANOO LAA YARJOONA HESAABANW.

Indeed they did not expect any reckoning,

وَّكَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا ؕ‏(28)

WA KAZZABOO BE-AAYAATENAA KIZZAABAA.

and they denied Our signs mendaciously,

So [now] taste! We shall increase you in nothing but punishment!

اِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ مَفَازًا ۙ‏(31)

Indeed a triumph awaits the Godwary:

JA-ZAAA-AM MIR RABBEKA A’TAAA-AN HESAABAR.

—a reward and a sufficing bounty from your Lord,

the All-beneficent, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. They will not be able to address Him

YAWMA YAQOOMUR ROOHO WAL MALAAA-EKATO SAFFAL, LAA YATAKALLAMOONA ILLAA MAN AZENA LAHUR RAHMAANO WA QAALA SAWAABAA.

on the day when the Spirit and the angels stand in an array: none shall speak except someone who is permitted by the All-beneficent and says what is rightful.

ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَنْ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ مَاٰبًا‏(39)

ZAALEKAL YAWMUL HAQQ, FAMAN SHAAA-AT TAKHAZA ELAA RABBEHI MA-AABAA.

That day is true for certain. So let anyone who wishes take resort with his Lord.

اِنَّاۤ اَنْذَرْنٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيْبًا ۖۚ يَّوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدٰهُ وَيَقُوْلُ الْكٰفِرُ يٰلَيْتَنِىْ كُنْتُ تُرٰبًا‏(40)

INNAA ANZARNAAKUM A’ZAABAN QAREEBAN-Y, YAWMA YANZORUL MAR-O MAA QADDAMAT YADAAHO WA YAQOOLUL KAAFERO YAA LAYTANEE KUNTO TORAABAA.

Indeed We have warned you of a punishment near at hand—the day when a person will observe what his hands have sent ahead and the faithless one will say, ‘I wish I were dust!’

Yet it will be only a single shout,

and behold, they will be awake.

هَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰى‌ۘ‏(15)

Did you receive the story of Moses,

اِذْ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى‌ۚ‏(16)

IZ NAADAAHO RABBOHU BIL-WAADIL MOQADDASE TOWAA.

[And said,] ‘Go to Pharaoh, for indeed he has rebelled,

Then he showed him the greatest sign.

FA-KAZZABA WA A’SAA.

But he denied, and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰىۖ‏(22)

Then he turned back, walking swiftly,

Is your creation more prodigious or that of the heaven He has built?

He raised its vault and fashioned it,

his refuge will indeed be paradise.

From what did He create him?

He created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid; then proportioned him.

Then He made the way easy for him;
