The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
