The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 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 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 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 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
