۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
