۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
