۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 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 [a symbol of] life. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
