۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
