۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
