The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the awesome tiding [of resurrection,] 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed a lamp therein brightly burning. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 It will be a place of return 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
