The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 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 whereupon they are at variance? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
