The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 About which they differ? 3 No! They are going to know. 4 Yes, indeed, before long they will learn all about it. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 The mountains tent-pins? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and gave you repose in sleep, 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And made the day as a means of subsistence? 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations, 15 and gardens luxuriant. 16 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will not taste therein cool or any drink. 24 except boiling water and pus 25 a meet requital [for their sins]! 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
