The Tidings

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

About the great news

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

That over which they are in disagreement

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

No! They are going to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

Then, no! They are going to know

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا

Have We not made the earth a resting place

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا

And the mountains as stakes

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

And gardens of entwined growth

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا

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

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

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

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا

For the transgressors, a place of return

لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا

In which they will remain for ages [unending]

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence
