The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as stakes? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We have made your sleep as a rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may produce from it grain and vegetation, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time; 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 and the mountains shall be made to vanish, as if they had been a mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
