۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
