The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying 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 [any] coolness or drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
