The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
