۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great event, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
