۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
