Surah An-Naba' ( The Great News ) - Aya count 40

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿١﴾

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٢﴾

Is it about the awesome tiding

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٣﴾

that they are in utter disagreement?

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

No indeed; soon will they come to know;

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٥﴾

again, no indeed; soon will they come to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا ﴿٦﴾

Have We not spread the earth like a bed,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا ﴿٧﴾

and fixed the mountains like pegs,

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ﴿٨﴾

and created you in pairs (as men and women),

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا ﴿٩﴾

and made your sleep a means of repose,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا ﴿١٠﴾

and made the night a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا ﴿١١﴾

and made the day to seek livelihood,

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا ﴿١٢﴾

and built above you seven strong firmaments,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا ﴿١٣﴾

and placed therein a hot, shining lamp,

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا ﴿١٤﴾

and sent down abundant water from the clouds

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation,

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿١٦﴾

and gardens dense with foliage?

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا ﴿١٧﴾

Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time;

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا ﴿١٨﴾

the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes;

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا ﴿١٩﴾

and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors;

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿٢٠﴾

and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا ﴿٢١﴾

Surely the Hell is an ambush,

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا ﴿٢٢﴾

a resort for the rebellious;

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا ﴿٢٣﴾

therein they shall abide for ages,

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿٢٤﴾

they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا ﴿٢٥﴾

save boiling water and wash of the wounds;

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا ﴿٢٦﴾

a befitting recompense for their deeds.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا ﴿٢٧﴾

For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning,

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا ﴿٢٨﴾

and roundly denied Our Signs as false.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا ﴿٢٩﴾

And everything have We recorded in a Book.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿٣٠﴾

So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment.

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿٣١﴾

Surely the state of triumph awaits the God-fearing:

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا ﴿٣٢﴾

gardens and vineyards,

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا ﴿٣٣﴾

and youthful maidens of like age,

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا ﴿٣٤﴾

and an overflowing cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا ﴿٣٥﴾

Therein they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood;

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا ﴿٣٦﴾

a recompense from your Lord and an ample reward

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا ﴿٣٧﴾

from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of that which is between them; the Most Merciful Lord before Whom none dare utter a word.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا ﴿٣٨﴾

The Day when the Spirit and the angels are ranged row on row. None shall speak save he whom the Merciful Lord will permit; and he too will speak what is right.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا ﴿٣٩﴾

That Day is sure to come. So let him who will seek a resort with his Lord.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا ﴿٤٠﴾

Lo! We warn you of a chastisement near at hand; the Day when a man will look on what his own hands have sent forth, and the unbelievers shall say: “Oh would that I were utter dust.”
