The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great news - 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 The rebels' abode, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
