The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the Great News 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
