The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 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 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 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
