The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 Concerning 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 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
