۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 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 heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
