The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news - 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
