The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great news - 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a fitting requital, 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
