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 2 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 Then, no! They are going to know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 And the high hills bulwarks? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 And made the night as a covering, 10 And the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We have built above you seven mighty heavens, 12 And have kept a very bright lamp in it. 13 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water 14 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: 17 It is a Day whereon the trumpet will be blown, and ye will come in multitudes. 18 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, 21 For the exorbitant a receptacle. 22 where they shall remain for ages, 23 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink 24 except boiling water and pus, 25 for a suitable recompense. 26 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; 27 And rejected Our signs as lies. 28 But all things We have enumerated in writing. 29 Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. 30
