۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
