The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
