The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
