The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ Whereof do they question one another? 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 That over which they are in disagreement. 3 Nay! they shall soon come to know 4 Again, indeed, they shall know! 5 Have We not made the earth as a bed, 6 and the mountains [its] pegs? 7 And We created you in pairs 8 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), 9 and We made the night a mantle, 10 And made the day for livelihood 11 And We built above you seven strong ones, 12 and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour. 13 and have sent down from the clouds, pouring rain 14 to make the seeds, plants, 15 and luxuriant gardens. 16 Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement. 17 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, 18 and heaven is opened, and become gates, 19 and the mountains move, and vaporize. 20 Surely the Hell is an ambush, 21 A place of resort for the inordinate, 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 a befitting recompense for their deeds. 26 They indeed hoped not for a reckoning, 27 and they absolutely belied Our verses, 28 And everything We have recorded in a book. 29 "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." 30
