The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 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 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
