The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
