۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
