۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
