The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
