۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
