۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
