The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
