۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
