۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great tidings! 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 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 projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
