۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 The rebels' abode, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
