The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Of what ask they? 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 About which they have been differing? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 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 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
