Of what do they ask one another?
AAamma yatasaaloona
Chapter 78, 40 verses
Of what do they ask one another?
AAamma yatasaaloona
About the great event,
AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi
About which they differ?
Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona
Nay! they shall soon come to know
Kalla sayaAAlamoona
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona
Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
Alam najAAali alarda mihadan
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
Waaljibala awtadan
And We created you in pairs,
Wakhalaqnakum azwajan
And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan
And We made the night to be a covering,
WajaAAalna allayla libasan
And We made the day for seeking livelihood.
WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan
And We made above you seven strong ones,
Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan
And We made a shining lamp,
WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan
And gardens dense and luxuriant.
Wajannatin alfafan
Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:
Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,
Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,
Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.
Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban
Surely hell lies in wait,
Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan
A place of resort for the inordinate,
Lilttagheena maaban
Living therein for ages.
Labitheena feeha ahqaban
They shall not taste therein cool nor drink
La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban
But boiling and intensely cold water,
Illa hameeman waghassaqan
Requital corresponding.
Jazaan wifaqan
Surely they feared not the account,
Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban
And We have recorded everything in a book,
Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban
So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.
Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban
Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,
Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan
Gardens and vineyards,
Hadaiqa waaAAnaban
And voluptuous women of equal age;
WakawaAAiba atraban
And a pure cup.
Wakasan dihaqan
They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.
La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:
Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban
The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.
Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban
That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban
Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
