The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the Great News 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
