Al Nabaa

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?

Pickthall

2 (It is) of the awful tidings,

Pickthall

3 Concerning which they are in disagreement.

Pickthall

4 Nay, but they will come to know!

Pickthall

5 Nay, again, but they will come to know!

Pickthall

6 Have We not made the earth an expanse,

Pickthall

7 And the high hills bulwarks ?

Pickthall

8 And We have created you in pairs,

Pickthall

9 And have appointed your sleep for repose,

Pickthall

10 And have appointed the night as a cloak,

Pickthall

11 And have appointed the day for livelihood.

Pickthall

12 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

Pickthall

13 And have appointed a dazzling lamp,

Pickthall

14 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,

Pickthall

15 Thereby to produce grain and plant,

Pickthall

16 And gardens of thick foliage.

Pickthall

17 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

Pickthall

18 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,

Pickthall

19 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,

Pickthall

20 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.

Pickthall

21 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

Pickthall

22 A home for the rebellious.

Pickthall

23 They will abide therein for ages.

Pickthall

24 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink

Pickthall

25 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:

Pickthall

26 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).

Pickthall

27 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;

Pickthall

28 They called Our revelations false with strong denial.

Pickthall

29 Everything have We recorded in a Book.

Pickthall

30 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

Pickthall

31 Lo! for the duteous is achievement -

Pickthall

32 Gardens enclosed and vineyards,

Pickthall

33 And maidens for companions,

Pickthall

34 And a full cup.

Pickthall

35 There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -

Pickthall

36 Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -

Pickthall

37 Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.

Pickthall

38 On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.

Pickthall

39 That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.

Pickthall

40 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 disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"
