۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 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 move, and vaporize. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a 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 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
