The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is an 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 Living therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a fitting requital, 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
