۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
