Tafseer of Surah An-Naba (Ibn Kathir Summary)

Surah An-Naba discusses the reality of the Day of Judgment and the resurrection that many disbelievers used to deny. The surah begins by mentioning the arguments of the disbelievers who questioned the “great news” — the resurrection after death.

Allah reminds mankind of His power through signs in creation such as the earth, mountains, sleep, night, day, the heavens, the sun, rain, and vegetation. These signs show that the One who created all these things certainly has the power to resurrect people after death.

The surah then describes the events of the Day of Judgment: the blowing of the trumpet, the opening of the heavens, and the destruction of mountains. Hell is described as a place prepared for the transgressors where they will remain for long periods, receiving punishment as a result of their disbelief and denial of Allah’s signs.

In contrast, the righteous believers will receive great rewards including gardens, fruits, companionship, and peace. They will not hear any vain or false speech in Paradise.

The surah concludes by emphasizing the certainty of the Day of Judgment and warns people about the near punishment. On that day, everyone will see the results of their deeds, and the disbeliever will wish that he had been dust.
