The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
