78:1

About what are they asking one another?

78:2

About the great news -

78:3

That over which they are in disagreement.

78:4

No! They are going to know.

78:5

Then, no! They are going to know.

78:6

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

78:7

And the mountains as stakes?

78:8

And We created you in pairs

78:9

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

78:10

And made the night as clothing

78:11

And made the day for livelihood

78:12

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

78:13

And made [therein] a burning lamp

78:14

And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water

78:15

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

78:16

And gardens of entwined growth.

78:17

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

78:18

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

78:19

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

78:20

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

78:21

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

78:22

For the transgressors, a place of return,

78:23

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

78:24

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.

78:25

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

78:26

An appropriate recompense.

78:27

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

78:28

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

78:29

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

78:30

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

78:31

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

78:32

Gardens and grapevines

78:33

And young women [companions] of equal age.

78:34

And a full cup.

78:35

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

78:36

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

78:37

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

78:38

The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

78:39

That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

78:40

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
