The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they have been differing? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
