۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
