The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
