The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become 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 home for the transgressors, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
