۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 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 everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
