The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
