The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 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 will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
