The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ Of what ask they? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors; 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
