The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Concerning what are they disputing? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 except boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
