78:21
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا ٢١
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
Surely the Hell is an ambush,
About this surah
Makki · order 80
Summary
The Surah derived its name from the word an-Naba in the second verse. This is not only a name but also a title of its subject matter, for Naba implies the news of Resurrection and Hereafter and the whole Surah is devoted to the same theme.
