۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
