۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 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 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 The rebels' abode, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
