The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
