۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a fitting requital, 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
