The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they differ? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
