۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
