Chapter 78, 40 verses
AAamma yatasaaloona
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi
(It is) of the awful tidings,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Kalla sayaAAlamoona
Nay, but they will come to know!
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Alam najAAali alarda mihadan
Have We not made the earth an expanse,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
Waaljibala awtadan
And the high hills bulwarks ?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
Wakhalaqnakum azwajan
And We have created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan
And have appointed your sleep for repose,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
WajaAAalna allayla libasan
And have appointed the night as a cloak,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan
And have appointed the day for livelihood.
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan
And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan
Thereby to produce grain and plant,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
Wajannatin alfafan
And gardens of thick foliage.
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا
Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
Lilttagheena maaban
A home for the rebellious.
لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًا
Labitheena feeha ahqaban
They will abide therein for ages.
لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًا
La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban
Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
Illa hameeman waghassaqan
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
Jazaan wifaqan
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).
جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban
For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban
They called Our revelations false with strong denial.
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban
Everything have We recorded in a Book.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan
Lo! for the duteous is achievement -
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
Hadaiqa waaAAnaban
Gardens enclosed and vineyards,
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا
WakawaAAiba atraban
And maidens for companions,
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
Wakasan dihaqan
And a full cup.
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban
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
Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban
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
Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
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
