۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
