An-Naba -- The Announcement

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

About the great news

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

That over which they are in disagreement

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

No! They are going to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

Then, no! They are going to know

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدࣰ ا

Have We not made the earth a resting place

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادࣰ ا

And the mountains as stakes

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجࣰ ا

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتࣰ ا

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسࣰ ا

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشࣰ ا

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعࣰ ا شِدَادࣰ ا

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجࣰ ا وَهَّاجࣰ ا

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءࣰ ثَجَّاجࣰ ا

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبࣰّ ا وَنَبَاتࣰ ا

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

And gardens of entwined growth

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتࣰ ا

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجࣰ ا

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبࣰ ا

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادࣰ ا

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابࣰ ا

For the transgressors, a place of return

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابࣰ ا

In which they will remain for ages [unending]

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدࣰ ا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمࣰ ا وَغَسَّاقࣰ ا

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence

جَزَآءࣰ وِفَاقًا

An appropriate recompense

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابࣰ ا

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابࣰ ا

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبࣰ ا

But all things We have enumerated in writing

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبࣰ ا

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابࣰ ا

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأۡسࣰ ا دِهَاقࣰ ا

And a full cup

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوࣰ ا وَلَا كِذَّٰبࣰ ا

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood

جَزَآءࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابࣰ ا

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابࣰ ا

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفࣰّ اۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابࣰ ا

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابࣰ ا قَرِيبࣰ ا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust
