۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
