The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the Great News 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth a resting place? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep [a means for] rest 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
