The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 a fitting requital, 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
