The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
