Chapter 78
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
78:1 What are they inquiring about?
78:2 About the significant news.
78:3 The one which they are in disagreement about.
78:4 No, they will come to know.
78:5 No, then again, they will come to know.
78:6 Did We not make the earth a habitat?
78:7 And the mountains as pegs?
78:8 And We created you in pairs?
78:9 And We made your sleep for resting?
78:10 And We made the night as a covering?
78:11 And We made the day to work in?
78:12 And We constructed above you seven mighty ones?
78:13 And We made a blazing lamp?
78:14 And We sent down from the clouds abundant water,
78:15 To bring out with it seeds and plants,
78:16 And gardens of thick growth?
78:17 The Day of Separation is the designated time.
78:18 The Day when the horn is blown and you come in crowds.
78:19 And the heaven is opened, so it becomes gates.
78:20 And the mountains will be moved as if they were a mirage.
78:21 For Hell is in wait.
78:22 For the transgressors it is a dwelling.
78:23 They will be in it for eons.
78:24 They will not taste any coolness in it nor drink.
78:25 Except that which is boiling and dark.
78:26 An exact recompense.
78:27 They did not expect the reckoning.
78:28 And they denied Our revelations greatly.
78:29 And everything We have counted in a record.
78:30 So taste it, for no increase will come to you from Us except in retribution.
78:31 As for the righteous, they will have triumph.
78:32 Gardens and vineyards.
78:33 And bunches that are ripe.
78:34 And a cup that is full.
78:35 They do not hear in it any vain talk or lies.
78:36 A reward from your Lord, in recognition for what is done.
78:37 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Almighty. They do not possess any authority besides Him.
78:38 The Day the Spirit and the angels stand in line, none will speak unless the Almighty permits him and he speaks what is true.
78:39 That is the Day of truth, so let whoever wills seek refuge to his Lord.
78:40 We have warned you of a retribution which is close, the Day when the human being will look at what he has brought forth and the rejecter will say: "I wish I were dust!"
