۞ Of what ask they? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
