Chapter 78, 40 verses
Concerning what are they disputing?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
AAamma yatasaaloona
Concerning the Great News,
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ
AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi
About which they cannot agree.
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla sayaAAlamoona
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا
Alam najAAali alarda mihadan
And the mountains as pegs?
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
Waaljibala awtadan
And (have We not) created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا
Wakhalaqnakum azwajan
And made your sleep for rest,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan
And made the night as a covering,
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
WajaAAalna allayla libasan
And made the day as a means of subsistence?
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan
And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan
And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا
Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan
That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan
And gardens of luxurious growth?
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Wajannatin alfafan
Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا
Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا
Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban
Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan
For the transgressors a place of destination:
لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا
Lilttagheena maaban
They will dwell therein for ages.
لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا
Labitheena feeha ahqaban
Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
Illa hameeman waghassaqan
A fitting recompense (for them).
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا
Jazaan wifaqan
For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban
But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا
Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban
And all things have We preserved on record.
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا
Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban
"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."
فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban
Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا
Hadaiqa waaAAnaban
And voluptuous women of equal age;
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
WakawaAAiba atraban
And a cup full (to the brim).
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
Wakasan dihaqan
No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth: -
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا
La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban
Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,
جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا
Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban
(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.
رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.
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
That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!
ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا
Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban
Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) 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
