The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed 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 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
