۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
