The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 The night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And We have set therein lamps glowing. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 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 dwell therein for ages. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
