۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
