۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great event, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
