The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the Great News 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 , A fitting reward. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
