OF WHAT ARE they asking one another?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

That We may produce from it grain and vegetation,
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

Ahmed Ali
Where they will remain for aeons,
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا
Ahmed Ali
Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink
إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا

Ahmed Ali
And flasks full and flowing.
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا

They will hear no blasphemies there or disavowals:
جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا
Ahmed Ali
A recompense from your Lord, a sufficient gift,
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that lies between them, most benevolent, to whom none may dare address a word.

Ahmed Ali
That day is certain. So whosoever likes may prepare a way to his Lord.
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
Ahmed Ali
We have indeed warned you of a calamity near at hand, a day when man will see what he had sent (of his deeds) ahead, and the unbeliever will say: "Woe alas. Ah would that I were dust!"
