The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great tidings! 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
