The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 a fitting requital, 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
