The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
