۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 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 made the night a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
