The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has 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 are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
