The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
