The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
