۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 The rebels' abode, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
