The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains as pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 and built above you seven strong firmaments, 12 And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun). 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 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 hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 and they rejected outright Our signs; 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment." 30
