The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a cradle 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 made the night as 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 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and thick gardens grow? 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 , A fitting reward. 26 Indeed they had no fear of the account. 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
