The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great news - 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
