۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
