The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ What are they questioning each other about? 1 (Is it) of the great announcement 2 that they are in utter disagreement? 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Did We not make the earth a bed? 6 and raised the mountains like supporting poles? 7 We created you in pairs, 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 made the night as a covering, 10 and We made the day for a livelihood. 11 And We have built above you seven firmaments, 12 and placed in them a blazing lamp 13 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, 19 And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. 20 Verily the Hell is an ambuscade: 21 For the transgressors, a place of return, 22 In it shall they remain for a long time. 23 and where they will taste neither coolness nor any drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. 29 Taste therefore. We shall not increase you in aught but torment. 30
