The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
