۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
