The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 and We appointed day for a livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 therein they shall abide for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment, 30
