The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the Great News 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
