۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
