The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an 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 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
