۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 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 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
