The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
