۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 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
