۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they differ? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 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 the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
