The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 And made the night a cover. 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
