The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
