۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 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 luxuriant. 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 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
