An-Naba’

Verset: 1

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another?

Verset: 2

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

About the momentous news^[1],

[1] i.e., the Resurrection.

Verset: 3

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

that which they differ about^[2].

[2] The pagans of Makkah denied the Qur’an, resurrection, and judgment. They differed as to whether the Qur’an was magic, fortune-telling, or poetry.

Verset: 4

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

No indeed; they will come to know.

Verset: 5

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

Again no; they will come to know.

Verset: 6

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

Verset: 7

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا

And the mountains as stakes^[3],

[3] Mountains go deep below the surface like pegs and icebergs, stabilizing the earth and slowing tectonic movement.

Verset: 8

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا

and created you in pairs,

Verset: 9

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا

and made your sleep for rest,

Verset: 10

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا

and made the night a covering^[4],

[4] Covering you in its darkness as garments cover you.

Verset: 11

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا

and made the day for seeking a livelihood,

Verset: 12

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا

and built above you seven mighty heavens,

Verset: 13

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا

and made therein a blazing lamp,

Verset: 14

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا

and sent down from the rainclouds abundant water,

Verset: 15

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا

so that We may produce thereby grains and vegetation,

Verset: 16

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

and gardens with dense foliage?

Verset: 17

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا

Indeed, the Day of Judgment is a time appointed,

Verset: 18

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا

the Day when the Trumpet will be blown, you will come forth in crowds,

Verset: 19

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا

and the sky will be opened up and will become gateways,

Verset: 20

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

and the mountains will vanish, becoming like a mirage.

Verset: 21

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا

Indeed, Hell is lying in wait,

Verset: 22

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا

a resort for the transgressors,

Verset: 23

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا

wherein they will abide for endless ages.

Verset: 24

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They will neither taste therein any coolness nor any drink,

Verset: 25

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا

except for scalding water and discharge of wounds,

Verset: 26

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا

a fitting recompense^[5].

[5] To their disbelief and evil deeds.

Verset: 27

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا

Indeed, they did not expect a reckoning,

Verset: 28

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا

and utterly rejected Our verses.

Verset: 29

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا

But We have enumerated everything in a record^[6].

[6] i.e., a record of deeds.

Verset: 30

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste [the punishment], for We will not increase you except in torment^[7].”

[7] The addressees are the dwellers of Hell.

Verset: 31

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Indeed, the righteous will have salvation^[8],

[8] i.e., safety from Hell and winning Paradise.

Verset: 32

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا

gardens and vineyards,

Verset: 33

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابٗا

and full-bosomed maidens of equal age,

Verset: 34

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا

and a full cup [of wine]^[9].

[9] i.e., tasteful wine which neither intoxicates nor causes headache.

Verset: 35

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا

They will not hear therein vain talk or lies –

Verset: 36

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا

a reward and a generous gift from your Lord^[10],

[10] Or "a gift adequately calculated"; as a result of their righteous deeds as well as the ample generosity of Allah.

Verset: 37

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا

[from] the Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, the Most Compassionate; none will dare to speak to Him^[11].

[11] None can ask or plead on the Day of Judgment except by Allah's permission.

Verset: 38

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا

On the Day when the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows; none will dare to speak, except those to whom the Most Compassionate granted permission, and they will only speak the truth.

Verset: 39

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That Day is sure to come. So whoever wills may seek a path leading to his Lord^[12].

[12] i.e., the path of guidance and righteous deeds.

Verset: 40

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا

Indeed, We have warned you of an imminent punishment on the Day when everyone will see what his hands have sent forth^[13], and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish that I were dust!”

[13] i.e., the deeds he did in this world.
