۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
