The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ Of what do they question one another? 1 Of the mighty tiding 2 whereupon they are at variance? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And have made your sleep as a thing for rest. 9 made the night as a covering, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, 14 that We may bring forth with it grain, plants 15 And gardens of entwined growth. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 They called Our revelations false with strong denial. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
