۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great event, 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 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
