۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
