۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
