The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon 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 made your sleep for rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 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 is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 We have kept account of everything 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
