The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 About which they differ? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
