۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 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 will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
