The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 The night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 a fitting requital, 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
