۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
