The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the Great News 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
