The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 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 (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
