۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they are in 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 a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 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 will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
