۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 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 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
