۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
