۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
