۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they differ? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become 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 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
