The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 1 About the great news - 2 on which they [so utterly] disagree. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 Again, no indeed; they shall soon know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and thick gardens grow? 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 heaven is opened, having gates, 19 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. 20 [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] 21 The rebels' abode, 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 But boiling and intensely cold water, 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
