The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
