۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they have been differing? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
