The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great event, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 The rebels' abode, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
