Surah An-Naba

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Of what do they ask one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

About the great event,

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

About which they differ?

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! they shall soon come to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا

Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا

And We created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا

And We made the night to be a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا

And We made above you seven strong ones,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا

And We made a shining lamp,

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا

And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

And gardens dense and luxuriant.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا

Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا

And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا

Surely hell lies in wait,

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا

A place of resort for the inordinate,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا

Living therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

But boiling and intensely cold water,

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا

Requital corresponding.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

Surely they feared not the account,

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا

And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا

And We have recorded everything in a book,

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا

Gardens and vineyards,

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا

And a pure cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا

They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.

جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا

A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا

Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
