The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great news - 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
