۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and luxuriant gardens. 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 will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
