۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
