۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
