The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty Announcement, 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And have appointed your sleep for repose, 9 and made 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 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 Thereby to produce grain and plant, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 a return for the insolent, 22 there, they shall live for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
