The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
