۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
