The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Whereof 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 Concerning which they differ. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 a fitting requital, 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
