The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
