The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 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 dense with foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
