The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an 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 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
