۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great event, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 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
