The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
