۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
