The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great tidings! 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Nay, again, they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 The night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
