The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
