The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
