۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
