۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
