۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
