The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news - 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
