The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great event, 2 About which they differ? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
