۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
