The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
