۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
