The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 And have appointed the night as a cloak, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
