۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
