The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the great news - 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
