The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
