۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great tidings! 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
