۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
