The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the Great News 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
