The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
