The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
