The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great news - 2 About which they differ? 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 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 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
