۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
