The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 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 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
