۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
