The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 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 abide therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
