۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great tidings! 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
