The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
