The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great event, 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
