Are13 you (O men,) harder to create, or is the heaven?14 Allah built it: He raised its vault high and gave it balance, and covered its night and brought forth its day.15 After that He spread out the earth16 from within it. He brought out its water and its pasture,17 and set the mountains in it, as a mesas of sustenance for you and your cattle.18 Then, when the great Disaster befalls19 the Day when man shall remember whatever he had striven for20 and Hell shall be laid open for everyone to see, then the one who had rebelled and preferred the life of the world, Hell shall be his home. As for him who had feared to stand before his Lord and restrained himself from evil desires, Paradise shall be his home.21 They ask you, "When will the Hour come to stay?"22 (But) it is not for you to tell its time. Its knowledge rests only with your Lord. You are only a warner to him who fears it.23 The day these people see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the world or in the state of death) only for the afternoon of a day or its forenoon.24
