۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
