The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
