The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 About which they differ? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
