The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 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 dirty wound discharges. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright 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
