The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 a return for the insolent, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
