۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
