The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
