۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the great event, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 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 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
