Chapter 78, 40 verses
Of what do they ask one another?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
AAamma yatasaaloona
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
About the great event,
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ
AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
About which they differ?
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Nay! they shall soon come to know
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla sayaAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا
Alam najAAali alarda mihadan
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
Waaljibala awtadan
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
And We created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا
Wakhalaqnakum azwajan
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
And We made the night to be a covering,
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
WajaAAalna allayla libasan
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
And We made the day for seeking livelihood.
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
And We made above you seven strong ones,
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
And We made a shining lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا
Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
And gardens dense and luxuriant.
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Wajannatin alfafan
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا
Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا
Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Surely hell lies in wait,
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
A place of resort for the inordinate,
لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا
Lilttagheena maaban
لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا
Living therein for ages.
لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا
Labitheena feeha ahqaban
لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا
They shall not taste therein cool nor drink
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
But boiling and intensely cold water,
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
Illa hameeman waghassaqan
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
Requital corresponding.
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا
Jazaan wifaqan
جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
Surely they feared not the account,
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا
Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
And We have recorded everything in a book,
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا
Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.
فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
Gardens and vineyards,
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا
Hadaiqa waaAAnaban
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا
And voluptuous women of equal age;
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
WakawaAAiba atraban
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
And a pure cup.
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
Wakasan dihaqan
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا
La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:
جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا
Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.
رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
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.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا
Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
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!
إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا
Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
