۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
