۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great event, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 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 will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 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 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
