The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they question 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 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 save boiling water and a stinking fluid -- 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
