The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 (It is) of the awful tidings, 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 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 heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 It will be a place of return 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
