۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
