۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
