The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great news - 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of 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 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
