۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
