۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they differ? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
