The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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 whereon they are at variance. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
