۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
