The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
