The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
