The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the Great News 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 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 there, they shall live for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
