۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 except boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
