Have We not made the earth a lodging

for the living and the dead,

and placed upon it towering, firm mountains, and given you fresh water to drink?

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

˹The disbelievers will be told,˺ “Proceed into that ˹Fire˺ which you used to deny!

Proceed into the shade ˹of smoke˺ which rises in three columns,

providing neither coolness nor shelter from the flames.

Indeed, it hurls sparks ˹as big˺ as huge castles,

and ˹as dark˺ as black camels.”¹

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

On that Day they will not ˹be in a position to˺ speak,

nor will they be permitted to offer excuses.

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

˹They will be told by Allah,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision: We have gathered you along with earlier disbelievers ˹for punishment˺.

So if you have a scheme ˹to save yourselves˺, then use it against Me.”

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

Indeed, the righteous will be amid ˹cool˺ shade and springs

and any fruit they desire.

˹They will be told,˺ “Eat and drink happily for what you used to do.”

Surely this is how We reward the good-doers.

˹But˺ woe on that Day to the deniers!

“Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while, ˹for˺ you are truly wicked.”

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

When it is said to them, “Bow down ˹before Allah,” they do not bow.

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

So what message after this ˹Quran˺ would they believe in?
