The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
