The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ OF WHAT ARE they asking one another? 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 whereon they are at variance. 3 Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]! 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth an expanse. 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And it is We who created you in pairs. 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water. 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 and gardens dense with foliage. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! 22 They will dwell therein for ages. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 And We have recorded everything in a book, 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
