۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a fitting requital, 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
