The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
