The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
