۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
