The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 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 whereon they are at variance. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, 15 And gardens of thick foliage. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 They indeed hoped 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
