The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and fixed the mountains like pegs, 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a return for the insolent, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
