The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 About the great news - 2 About which they have been differing? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and pus 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 having given the lie to Our messages one and all: 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
