The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 Recompense fitted! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
