The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great news - 2 About which they differ? 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
