The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
