۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
