۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they differ? 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
