The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Is it about the awesome tiding 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 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 abide therein for ages. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
