The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 Nay, they will come to know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not made the earth as a place to rest 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And (have We not) created you in pairs, 8 and We made your sleep a rest, 9 And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 And have appointed a dazzling lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with follage. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 a home for the transgressors, 22 Living therein for ages. 23 tasting therein neither coolness nor any drink 24 Except boiling water and benumbing cold: 25 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). 28 Everything have We recorded in a Book. 29 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. 30
