The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Hell will lie in wait (for its prey). 21 It will be a place of return 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
