The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
