The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great news - 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
