The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the great event, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep for rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 From the rain clouds We send waters pouring down in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
