The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 [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
