The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
