۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
