The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
