۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
