| 1. What do they question one another about ? 2. About the mighty Event, 3. Concerning which they differ. 4. Nay, soon they will come to know. 5. Nay, WE say it again, they will soon come to know. 6. Have WE not made the earth as a bed, 7. And the mountains as pegs ? 8. And WE have created you in pairs, 9. And have made your sleep for rest, 10. And have made the night as a covering, 11. And have made the day for the pursuits of life. 12. And WE have built above you seven strong ones; 13. And have made the sun a bright lamp. 14. And WE send down from the dripping clouds water pouring forth abundantly. 15. That WE may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation, 16. And gardens of luxuriant growth. 17. Surely, the Day of Decision is an appointed time 18. The day when the trumpet will be blown, and you will come in large groups. 19. And the heaven shall be opened and shall become all doors. 20. And the mountains shall be set in motion and shall become, as if they were, a mirage. 21. Surely, Hell lies in ambush, 22. A resort for the rebellious, 23. Who will tarry therein for ages. 24. They will taste therein neither coolness, nor drink, 25. Save boiling water and a stinking fluid, intensely cold - 26. A meet requital. 27. Verily, they feared not the reckoning, 28. And rejected Our Signs totally. 29. And everything have WE recorded in a Book. 30. `Taste ye, therefore, the punishment; WE will give you no increase except in torment.' |
