The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 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 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
