۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great tidings! 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 a fitting requital, 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
