The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
