۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
