The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
