The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 [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
