۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
