۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
