The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
