۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
