The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
