The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 a fitting requital, 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
