۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
