The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We made above you seven strong ones, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and sent down heavy rains from the clouds 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
