۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
