The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 About which they differ? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
