The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
