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 news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 And We made the night to be a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining 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 dense with foliage? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 Requital corresponding. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
