The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
