The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what do they ask one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 The night a covering, 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will have been opened, and it will have become doors. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Certainly Hell lies in wait, 21 for the insolent a resort, 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and pus 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
