The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
