۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they have been differing? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
