۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great event, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
