The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 a fitting requital, 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
