The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 and created you in pairs (as men and women), 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 a fitting requital, 26 Verily they were wont not to look for a reckoning. 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And all things We have recorded in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
