۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 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 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
