The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and thick gardens grow? 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 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 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 They will remain in it for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
