۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
