The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
