۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 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 that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
