The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 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 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
