۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
