The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And We have sent down from the rain-clouds water plenteous. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 The rebels' abode, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 Requital corresponding. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 And everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
