The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 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
