The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the Great News 2 About which they have been differing? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 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
