An-Naba
An-Naba or The News (, an-nabaʼ, also known as "The Tidings", "The Announcement") is the seventy-eighth chapter (surah) of the Quran, with forty ayat or verses. Summary
The first twenty verses discuss the wonders of the worldly creation (the earth, plants, the peace of night, the mountains and rain); the final twenty verses are about the eternal wonders and horrors of the next world, with the raging sinner (the Arabic triliteral root TGY "taagheena" is used) being punished starkly opposed with the rewarding of dutiful believers in paradise. The Arabic triliteral root WQY "muttaqeena" is employed as a poetic parataxis to TGY). Ayat (Verses)
1-5  Unbelievers shall yet learn the truth of the resurrection
6-16  God the Creator and Preserver of all things
17-20  Judgment-day scenes described
21-30  The recompense of unbelievers in hell described
31-37 The joys of believers in  Paradise described
37-38  No intercessor except by God’s permission
39-40  Sinners exhorted to flee from the day of wrath
