The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news - 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Surely yes, they will soon come to know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 The night a covering, 10 and the day as time for you to make a living? 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes). 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
