The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a return for the insolent, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
