۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 a fitting requital, 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
