۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
