Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah An-Naba -> Which was revealed in Makkah

﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

﴿عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ - عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ - الَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ - كَلاَّ سَيَعْلَمُونَ - ثُمَّ كَلاَّ سَيَعْلَمُونَ - أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الاٌّرْضَ مِهَـداً - وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَاداً - وَخَلَقْنَـكُمْ أَزْوَجاً - وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتاً - وَجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِبَاساً - وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشاً - وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعاً شِدَاداً - وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجاً وَهَّاجاً - وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجاً - لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبّاً وَنَبَاتاً - وَجَنَّـتٍ أَلْفَافاً ﴾

(1. What are they asking about) (2. About the great news,) (3. About which they are in disagreement.) (4. Nay, they will come to know!) (5. Nay, again, they will come to know!) (6. Have We not made the earth as a bed,) (7. And the mountains as pegs) (8. And We have created you in pairs.) (9. And We have made your sleep as a thing for rest.) (10. And We have made the night as a covering,) (11. And We have made the day for livelihood.) (12. And We have built above you seven strong,) (13. And We have made (therein) a shining lamp.) (14. And We have sent down from the Mu`sirat water Thajjaj.) (15. That We may produce therewith grains and vegetations,) (16. And gardens that are Alfaf.)
