The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
