The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great tidings! 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
