۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
