۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 It will be a place of return 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
