The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
