۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
