The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 and made the night [its] cloak 10 And have appointed the day for livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and placed therein a hot, shining lamp, 13 And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. 14 so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs, 15 And gardens of thick growth. 16 Surely the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 and heaven is opened, having gates, 19 and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 for the rebellious ones and they will live therein for ages. 23 They will not feel cold nor taste any drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did]. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
