The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ 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 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
