۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
