The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
