The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
