۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
