78. An-Naba - The News
1 | What are they questioning each other about? |
2 | About the great tidings! |
3 | Regarding which they hold different views. |
4 | Surely yes, they will soon come to know! |
5 | Again surely yes, they will soon come to know! |
6 | Did We not make the earth a bed? |
7 | And the mountains as pegs? |
8 | And it is We who created you in pairs. |
9 | And made your sleep a rest. |
10 | And made the night a cover. |
11 | And made the day for seeking livelihood. |
12 | And built seven strong roofs above you. |
13 | And have kept a very bright lamp in it. |
14 | And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds. |
15 | In order to produce grain and plants with it. |
16 | And dense gardens. |
17 | Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed. |
18 | The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes. |
19 | And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. |
20 | And the mountains will be moved – they will therefore become like mirages. |
21 | Indeed hell is lying in ambush. |
22 | The destination of the rebellious. |
23 | They will remain in it for ages. |
24 | They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. |
25 | Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell. |
26 | The reward to each is according to what he is. |
27 | Indeed they had no fear of the account. |
28 | And they denied Our signs to the extreme. |
29 | And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for. |
30 | Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment. |
31 | Indeed the place of success is for the pious. |
32 | Gardens and grapes. |
33 | And maidens of a single age. |
34 | And an overflowing cup. |
35 | In which they shall neither hear lewd talk, nor any lie. |
36 | A reward from your Lord – a grossly sufficient bestowal. |
37 | Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all whatever is between them – the Most Gracious – with Whom no one will have the right to talk. |
38 | The day when Jibreel and all the angels will stand in rows; none will be able to speak except one whom the Most Gracious commands and who spoke rightly. (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – will be the first to be granted permission to intercede.) |
39 | That is the True Day; therefore whoever wills may take the path towards his Lord. |
40 | We warn you of a punishment that has come near; a day on which man will see what his own hands have sent ahead, and the disbeliever will say, “Alas – if only I were dust!” |
