The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 the Day that the Horn is blown, and you shall come in crowds 18 and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 For verily, they used not to look 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 numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
