۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great event, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
