The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another? 1 About the great news - 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Surely, they will soon find out the truth! 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 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 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a fitting requital, 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall increase you not save in chastisement.' 30
