۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
