Surah An-Naba

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ١

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٢

About the great news -

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ٣

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٤

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ٥

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا٦

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا٧

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا٨

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا٩

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا١٠

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا١١

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا١٢

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا١٣

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا١٤

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا١٥

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا١٦

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا١٧

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا١٨

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

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا١٩

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا٢٠

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

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا٢١

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا٢٢

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا٢٣

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا٢٤

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا٢٥

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا٢٦

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا٢٧

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا٢٨

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا٢٩

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا٣٠

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

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا٣١

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا٣٢

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا٣٣

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا٣٤

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا٣٥

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا٣٦

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

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا٣٧

[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 صَوَابًۭا٣٨

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 مَـَٔابًا٣٩

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 تُرَٰبًۢا٤٠

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!"
