The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 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 remain in it for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Surely they feared not the account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
