The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 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 have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And made [therein] a burning 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 gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
