۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 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 We have created you in pairs; 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
