The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news - 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night a cover. 10 And have made the day for livelihood. 11 And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will remain in it for ages. 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 However, We have recorded everything in a book. 29 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. 30
