۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 By no means! anon 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 pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
