The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 About the Great News 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that day the trumpet will be sounded and you will come (to Us) in huge groups. 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely hell lies in wait, 21 It will be a place of return 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
