Surah The tidings [An-Naba] in English

What are they asking about

About the great news,

About which they are in disagreement.

Nay, they will come to know!

Nay, again, they will come to know!

Have We not made the earth as a bed,

And the mountains as pegs

And We have created you in pairs.

And We have made your sleep as a thing for rest.

And We have made the night as a covering,

And We have made the day for livelihood.

And We have built above you seven strong,

And We have made (therein) a shining lamp.

And We have sent down from the Mu`sirat water Thajjaj.

That We may produce therewith grains and vegetations,

And gardens that are Alfaf.

Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds.

And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates.

And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.

Truly, Hell is a place of ambush

A dwelling place for the Taghun,

They will abide therein Ahqab.

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.

Except Hamim, and Ghassaq

An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.

But they denied Our Ayat Kidhdhaba.

And all things We have recorded in a Book.

So taste you. No increase shall We give you, except in torment.

Verily, for those who have Taqwa, there will be a success;

Hada'iq and vineyards,

And Kawa`ib Atrab,

And a cup Dihaq.

No Laghw shall they hear therein, nor lying;

Rewarded from your Lord with a sufficient gift.

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most Gracious, with Whom th- ey cannot dare to speak.

The Day that Ar-Ruh and the angels will stand forth in rows, they will not speak except him whom Ar-Rahman allows, and he will speak what is right.

That is the True Day. So, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with His Lord!
