The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; soon will they 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 projections (thereon)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
