۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
