The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they differ? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 a return for the insolent, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
