The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 About the great news - 2 Concerning which they differ. 3 No indeed; soon will they come to know; 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs, 8 and made your sleep a means of repose, 9 And We have made the night a covering. 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And built seven strong roofs above you. 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 The mountains will be driven away and become like mirages. 20 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink 24 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence - 25 , A fitting reward. 26 for they never expected to be called to account, 27 and roundly denied Our Signs as false. 28 but We have recorded everything in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
