An-Naba

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

What are they asking one another about?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

About the momentous news

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

over which they disagree.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

But no! They will come to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Again, no! They will come to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا

Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs

وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا

and created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

and made your sleep for rest

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا

and made the night as a cover

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

and made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا

and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا

and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا

and sent down from rainclouds pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

and dense orchards?

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا

Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time—

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا

The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا

Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush

لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا

as a home for the transgressors

لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا

where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا

There they will not taste any coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus—

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا

a fitting reward.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

For they never expected any reckoning

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا

and totally rejected Our signs.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا

And We have everything recorded precisely.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

˹So the deniers will be told,˺ “Taste ˹the punishment˺, for all you will get from Us is more torment.”

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Indeed, the righteous will have salvation—

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـٰبًا

Gardens, vineyards

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا

and full-bosomed maidens of equal age

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا

and full cups ˹of pure wine˺

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا

never to hear any idle talk or lying therein—

جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا

a ˹fitting˺ reward as a generous gift from your Lord

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, the Most Compassionate. No one will dare speak to Him

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

on the Day the ˹holy˺ spirit and the angels will stand in ranks. None will talk, except those granted permission by the Most Compassionate and whose words are true.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That Day is the ˹ultimate˺ truth. So let whoever wills take the path leading back to their Lord.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of an imminent punishment—the Day every person will see ˹the consequences of˺ what their hands have done, and the disbelievers will cry, “I wish I were dust.”
