The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
