The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the great tidings! 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
