۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 The night a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
