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 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
