The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 1 Concerning the Great News, 2 About which they have been differing? 3 By no means! anon they shall know. 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a spreading, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs, 8 And made your sleep a rest. 9 and made the night a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 And gardens dense and luxuriant. 16 Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time, 17 The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Behold, Gehenna has become an ambush, 21 A dwelling place for the Taghun (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allah like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.), 22 therein to tarry for ages, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 except boiling water and pus 25 as a fitting recompense for their deeds. 26 For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning, 27 and persistently rejected Our revelations. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment. 30
