The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
