۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
