۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
