The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 About the Great News 2 Regarding which they hold different views. 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day for earning a livelihood. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 Surely, the Day of Judgement has an appointed time. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 In which they will remain for ages [unending]. 23 tasting neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 The reward to each is according to what he is. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And they denied Our signs to the extreme. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
