The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask 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 whereon they are at variance. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
