۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 The rebels' abode, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
