۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a return for the insolent, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
