۞ What do they question each other about! 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
