The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
