Al Nabaa

Shakir

1 Of what do they ask one another?

Shakir

2 About the great event,

Shakir

3 About which they differ?

Shakir

4 Nay! they shall soon come to know

Shakir

5 Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

Shakir

6 Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

Shakir

7 And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

Shakir

8 And We created you in pairs,

Shakir

9 And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),

Shakir

10 And We made the night to be a covering,

Shakir

11 And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

Shakir

12 And We made above you seven strong ones,

Shakir

13 And We made a shining lamp,

Shakir

14 And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

Shakir

15 That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

Shakir

16 And gardens dense and luxuriant.

Shakir

17 Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:

Shakir

18 The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,

Shakir

19 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

Shakir

20 And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

Shakir

21 Surely hell lies in wait,

Shakir

22 A place of resort for the inordinate,

Shakir

23 Living therein for ages.

Shakir

24 They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

Shakir

25 But boiling and intensely cold water,

Shakir

26 Requital corresponding.

Shakir

27 Surely they feared not the account,

Shakir

28 And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

Shakir

29 And We have recorded everything in a book,

Shakir

30 So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.

Shakir

31 Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,

Shakir

32 Gardens and vineyards,

Shakir

33 And voluptuous women of equal age;

Shakir

34 And a pure cup.

Shakir

35 They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.

Shakir

36 A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

Shakir

37 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.

Shakir

38 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.

Shakir

39 That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

Shakir

40 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!
