۞ Of what ask they? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
