The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ What are they asking (one another)? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 About which they are in disagreement. 3 Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! 4 They will indeed come to know soon. 5 Have We not spread the earth like a bed, 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death 9 And made the night as clothing 10 and made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 Have We not made seven strong heavens above you, 12 (the sun) as a shining torch 13 and sent down abundant water from the clouds 14 In order to produce grain and plants with it. 15 And gardens thick with trees. 16 Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time, 17 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes 18 The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors, 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 For the transgressors a place of destination: 22 therein they shall abide 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 fitting reward. 26 They were those who did not expect a reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 and everything We have numbered in a Book. 29 So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment. 30
