The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And dense gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
