The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the Great News 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
