۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a fitting requital, 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
