The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
