The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 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 rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
