Surah An-Naba سُورَةُ النَّبَإِ

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ1

Concerning what are they disputing?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ2

Concerning the Great News,

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ3

About which they cannot agree.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ4

Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ5

Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا6

Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا7

And the mountains as pegs?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا8

And (have We not) created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا9

And made your sleep for rest,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا10

And made the night as a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا11

And made the day as a means of subsistence?

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا12

And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا13

And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا14

And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا15

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا16

And gardens of luxurious growth?

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا17

Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا18

The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا19

And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا20

And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا21

Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا22

For the transgressors a place of destination:

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا23

They will dwell therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا24

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا25

Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا26

A fitting recompense (for them).

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا27

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا28

But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا29

And all things have We preserved on record.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا30

"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا31

Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا32

Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا33

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا34

And a cup full (to the brim).

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا35

No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا36

Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا37

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا38

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا39

That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا40

Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
