Surah An-Naba النَّبَأ

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

About the great news -

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا

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

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

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

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

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

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا

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

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا

[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.

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

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 ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ 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 أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا

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!"
