The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 About which they differ? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
