۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
