The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
