۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
