۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 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 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
