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!” |
