The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 The rebels' abode, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
