The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
