The News (Al-Naba')
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ What do they question each other about! 1 About the great news, (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Quran, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.), 2 concerning which they are in disagreement! 3 Indeed they will come to know soon; 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you,] 6 And the mountains as projections (thereon)? 7 Have We not created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And We have builded over you seven strong heavens. 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); 18 The heavens will have openings like doors. 19 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage. 20 Surely, Hell lies in wait, 21 A home for the rebellious. 22 They will abide therein for ages, 23 Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 A fitting recompense (for them). 26 Indeed, they did not hope for a Reckoning, 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
