Chapter 78, 40 verses
About what are they asking one another?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عم يتساءلون
About the great news -
عن النبإ العظيم
That over which they are in disagreement.
الذي هم فيه مختلفون
No! They are going to know.
كلا سيعلمون
Then, no! They are going to know.
ثم كلا سيعلمون
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
ألم نجعل الأرض مهادا
And the mountains as stakes?
والجبال أوتادا
And We created you in pairs
وخلقناكم أزواجا
And made your sleep [a means for] rest
وجعلنا نومكم سباتا
And made the night as clothing
وجعلنا الليل لباسا
And made the day for livelihood
وجعلنا النهار معاشا
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
وبنينا فوقكم سبعا شدادا
And made [therein] a burning lamp
وجعلنا سراجا وهاجا
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
وأنزلنا من المعصرات ماء ثجاجا
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
لنخرج به حبا ونباتا
And gardens of entwined growth.
وجنات ألفافا
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
إن يوم الفصل كان ميقاتا
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
يوم ينفخ في الصور فتأتون أفواجا
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
وفتحت السماء فكانت أبوابا
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
وسيرت الجبال فكانت سرابا
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
إن جهنم كانت مرصادا
For the transgressors, a place of return,
للطاغين مآبا
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
لابثين فيها أحقابا
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink
لا يذوقون فيها بردا ولا شرابا
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
إلا حميما وغساقا
An appropriate recompense.
جزاء وفاقا
Indeed, they were not expecting an account
إنهم كانوا لا يرجون حسابا
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
وكذبوا بآياتنا كذابا
But all things We have enumerated in writing.
وكل شيء أحصيناه كتابا
"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."
فذوقوا فلن نزيدكم إلا عذابا
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
إن للمتقين مفازا
Gardens and grapevines
حدائق وأعنابا
And full - breasted [companions] of equal age
وكواعب أترابا
And a full cup.
وكأسا دهاقا
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
لا يسمعون فيها لغوا ولا كذابا
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
جزاء من ربك عطاء حسابا
[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.
رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما الرحمن ۖ لا يملكون منه خطابا
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.
يوم يقوم الروح والملائكة صفا ۖ لا يتكلمون إلا من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا
That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.
ذلك اليوم الحق ۖ فمن شاء اتخذ إلى ربه مآبا
Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
إنا أنذرناكم عذابا قريبا يوم ينظر المرء ما قدمت يداه ويقول الكافر يا ليتني كنت ترابا
