۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
