۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 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 are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
