The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
