The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 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 are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
