۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed, 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 the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
