About what are they asking one another?

About the great news –

That over which they are in disagreement.

No! They are going to know.

We repeat, very soon they shall come to know.

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

And the mountains as stakes?

And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.).

provided you rest in sleep,

And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness),

made the day to work for earning your livelihood,

And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun).

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations,

and gardens of luxurious growth?

The Day of decision (Day of Judgement) is already fixed.

The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups);

And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates,

And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.
Meaning:-
Mirage: of something that seems to be far away but does not

Surely Hell has been observing, (i.e., in expectation of the criminals).

For the transgressors a place of destination:
Meaning:-
Transgressors: a person who is actually breaking the law, offend; sin.

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

And called Our verses a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

And We have recorded everything in a book,

It will be said: “Taste the fruits of your deeds! You shall have nothing but increase in punishment.”

On that Day, the righteous will certainly achieve their Heart’s desires:
Meaning:-
Righteous: (of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous, very good; excellent.

Gardens and grapevines

and young women of their own age,

And a full cup (of wine).

No ill speech will they hear therein or any lying –

A reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift (according to the best of their good deeds).

from the Compassionate, Who is the Lord of the heavens, the earth and all that lies between them; before Whom no one shall be able to speak.

On that Day, the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels shall stand in their ranks; none shall speak except the one to whom the Compassionate (Allah) shall grant permission to speak, and he will speak straight to the point.

That Day is a sure reality. Let him who desires, seek a way back to his Lord.

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish that I were dust!”
