The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ Of what ask they? 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 No indeed; they shall soon know! 4 Nay, again, but they will come to know! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 And made sleep for you to rest, 9 and the night as a cover, 10 And We made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And We made a shining lamp, 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, 15 And gardens of luxurious growth? 16 The Day of Judgment will certainly be the final appointment. 17 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains are set in motion, and become a vapour. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Indeed, they were not expecting an account 27 and they cried loud lies to Our signs; 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
