۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they differ? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
