The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
