The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Of what ask they? 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 will come to know soon; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.). 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 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 shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
