۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 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
