۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
