The News (Al-Naba')
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ About what are they asking one another? 1 They quarrel about the great news 2 About which they cannot agree. 3 Nay, but they will come to know! 4 again, no indeed; soon will they come to know. 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as stakes? 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 made the day [a symbol of] life. 11 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens] 12 and We have set therein a glowing lamp. 13 And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents 14 so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation, 15 And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs. 16 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time - 17 On that Day when the trumpet shall be sounded, you shall come in droves, 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage. 20 Indeed, Gehenna (Hell) has become an ambush, 21 a resort for the rebellious; 22 Living therein for ages. 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 Save scalding water and corruption. 25 An appropriate recompense. 26 They did not expect such a Judgment 27 But they belied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely. 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 'Taste! We shall not increase you except in punishment' 30
