۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they differ? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
