۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
