۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
