Chapter 78, 40 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عم يتساءلون

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
عن النبإ العظيم
Concerning the Great News,
(It is) of the awful tidings,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
الذي هم فيه مختلفون
About which they cannot agree.
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
كلا سيعلمون

Nay, but they will come to know!
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
ثم كلا سيعلمون
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
ألم نجعل الأرض مهادا
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,
Have We not made the earth an expanse,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
والجبال أوتادا
And the mountains as pegs?
And the high hills bulwarks ?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
وخلقناكم أزواجا
And (have We not) created you in pairs,
And We have created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
وجعلنا نومكم سباتا
And made your sleep for rest,
And have appointed your sleep for repose,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
وجعلنا الليل لباسا

And have appointed the night as a cloak,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
وجعلنا النهار معاشا

And have appointed the day for livelihood.
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
وبنينا فوقكم سبعا شدادا

And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
وجعلنا سراجا وهاجا
And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?
And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
وأنزلنا من المعصرات ماء ثجاجا
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
لنخرج به حبا ونباتا
That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,
Thereby to produce grain and plant,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
وجنات ألفافا
And gardens of luxurious growth?
And gardens of thick foliage.
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
إن يوم الفصل كان ميقاتا
Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا
يوم ينفخ في الصور فتأتون أفواجا
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
وفتحت السماء فكانت أبوابا
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
وسيرت الجبال فكانت سرابا
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
إن جهنم كانت مرصادا
Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
للطاغين مآبا
For the transgressors a place of destination:
A home for the rebellious.
لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا
لابثين فيها أحقابا
They will dwell therein for ages.
They will abide therein for ages.
لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا
لا يذوقون فيها بردا ولا شرابا
Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,
Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
إلا حميما وغساقا
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
جزاء وفاقا
A fitting recompense (for them).
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).
جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
إنهم كانوا لا يرجون حسابا
For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),
For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
وكذبوا بآياتنا كذابا
But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.
They called Our revelations false with strong denial.
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
وكل شيء أحصيناه كتابا
And all things have We preserved on record.
Everything have We recorded in a Book.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
فذوقوا فلن نزيدكم إلا عذابا
"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
إن للمتقين مفازا
Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;
Lo! for the duteous is achievement -
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
حدائق وأعنابا
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;
Gardens enclosed and vineyards,
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا
وكواعب أترابا
And voluptuous women of equal age;
And maidens for companions,
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
وكأسا دهاقا
And a cup full (to the brim).
And a full cup.
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
لا يسمعون فيها لغوا ولا كذابا
No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth: -
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
جزاء من ربك عطاء حسابا
Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما الرحمن ۖ لا يملكون منه خطابا
(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
يوم يقوم الروح والملائكة صفا ۖ لا يتكلمون إلا من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.
On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
ذلك اليوم الحق ۖ فمن شاء اتخذ إلى ربه مآبا
That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
إنا أنذرناكم عذابا قريبا يوم ينظر المرء ما قدمت يداه ويقول الكافر يا ليتني كنت ترابا
Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the will cry: "Would that I were dust!"
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
