۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
