۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
