The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
