۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great event, 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an 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 will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
