The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
