۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
