The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
