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

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿١﴾

Concerning what are they disputing?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٢﴾

Concerning the Great News,

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿٣﴾

About which they cannot agree.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٥﴾

Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا ﴿٦﴾

Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا ﴿٧﴾

And the mountains as pegs?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ﴿٨﴾

And (have We not) created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا ﴿٩﴾

And made your sleep for rest,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا ﴿١٠﴾

And made the night as a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا ﴿١١﴾

And made the day as a means of subsistence?

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا ﴿١٢﴾

And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا ﴿١٣﴾

And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا ﴿١٤﴾

And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا ﴿١٥﴾

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿١٦﴾

And gardens of luxurious growth?

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا ﴿١٧﴾

Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا ﴿١٨﴾

The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا ﴿١٩﴾

And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿٢٠﴾

And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا ﴿٢١﴾

Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا ﴿٢٢﴾

For the transgressors a place of destination:

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا ﴿٢٣﴾

They will dwell therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿٢٤﴾

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا ﴿٢٥﴾

Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا ﴿٢٦﴾

A fitting recompense (for them).

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا ﴿٢٧﴾

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا ﴿٢٨﴾

But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا ﴿٢٩﴾

And all things have We preserved on record.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿٣٠﴾

"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿٣١﴾

Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا ﴿٣٢﴾

Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا ﴿٣٣﴾

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا ﴿٣٤﴾

And a cup full (to the brim).

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا ﴿٣٥﴾

No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا ﴿٣٦﴾

Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,

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

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

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

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.

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

That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

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

Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
