The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 Concerning 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 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
