About what are they inquiring? Is it about the Great News concerning which they are at variance?1 By no means!2 They shall soon know. Yes, by no means! They shall soon know!3 Is it not a fact that We have made the earth a bed4 and set the mountains as pegs5 and created you as pairs (of men and women),6 and made your sleep for rest7 and the night a covering and the day for seeking livelihood,8 and established above you seven strong heavens,9 and set a bright, blazing lamp,10 and rained water from the clouds in abundance that We may produce thereby corn and vegetables and lush gardens?11 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time. The day the Trumpet is blown, you shall come out in multitudes,12 and the heaven shall be opened so as to become all doors, and the mountains shall be set in motion till they become as a mirage.13 Hell, in fact, is an ambush,14 the abode for the rebellious in which they shall remain lodged for ages.15 In it they shall not taste any coolness nor any drink, except boiling water and the washing from wounds,16 a full recompense (for their misdeeds). They did not expect any reckoning and had treated Our Revelations as utterly false,17 whereas We had counted and preserved everything in writing.18 Now taste it, for We shall never increase anything for you except the torment.
