The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great event, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
