۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 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 be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
