The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
