The Tidings
النبإAffirms Tawhid, Prophethood, and the Hereafter as three foundational truths, warning the deniers while offering hope to the believers.

About what are they asking one another?
About the great news -
That over which they are in disagreement.
No! They are going to know.
Then, no! They are going to know.
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
And the mountains as stakes?
And We created you in pairs.
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
And made the night as clothing.
And made the day for livelihood.
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens].
And made [therein] a burning lamp
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water.
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation.
And gardens of entwined growth.
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways.
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
For the transgressors, a place of return,
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
