۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
