The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question 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 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
