The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 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 About which they differ? 3 (What they think is certainly despicable!). They will soon come to know (the reality). 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 The rebels' abode, 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
