۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 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 the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
