۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like 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 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
