۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great event, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 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 it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
