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