| 78:1 | | Are they questioning and&hellip |
| 78:2 | | … disputing the happening of. |
| 78:3 | | … the great event |
| 78:4 | | Pretty soon they will find out |
| 78:5 | | Without any doubt they will find out themselves that Resurrection and Hereafter is true |
| 78:6 | | The same God which made the earth habitable |
| 78:7 | | And stabilized the mountain |
| 78:8 | | And created male and female to keep each one compan |
| 78:9 | | And favored you with the sleep so that you res |
| 78:10 | | And made the night a cove |
| 78:11 | | And energized you in the day so that you for after your provisio |
| 78:12 | | And built universe upon universe above yo |
| 78:13 | | And created the sun as a source of light and energy for yo |
| 78:14 | | And sent down water for you from the sky abov |
| 78:15 | | To produce plants and grain |
| 78:16 | | And various orchard |
| 78:17 | | The same Mighty Lord Who did all the above has appointed a day of judgment |
| 78:18 | | The day on which the horn is blown, you all will come forth in crowds |
| 78:19 | | And the sky will be opened the same way that the gates of a place is being opened |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains will be erased from the face of the earth as if they were a mirage |
| 78:21 | | The Hell then will be waiting impatiently |
| 78:22 | | To house the rebels |
| 78:23 | | So that they live there for ages to come |
| 78:24 | | They will never taste any drink or coolness there |
| 78:25 | | The only thing that they will taste is a boiling drink and a dark murky extremely cold fluid |
| 78:26 | | This is a proportional reward for what they did on earth |
| 78:27 | | They never minded the day of judgment |
| 78:28 | | And treated their Lord’s revelations as a lie and false statements |
| 78:29 | | Know that every action of mankind is registered in a book |
| 78:30 | | So let them taste the fruit of your actions as I (God) will not give you anything but the torture |
| 78:31 | | For the righteous one, on the contrary, the day of judgment is the day of achievement |
| 78:32 | | Theirs will be gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And the most appealing women of their ages |
| 78:34 | | And a full cup of delicious drinks |
| 78:35 | | They will never hear any profanity or lies therein |
| 78:36 | | This is a reward from your Lord: A payment in kind for your good deeds |
| 78:37 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between; the Most Forgiving. No one will dare to argue with Him |
| 78:38 | | In the Day of Judgment, the Spirit and the angles will stand motionless in a row. No one will dare to say anything without the Most Merciful permission and the only thing which will be spoken is the truth |
| 78:39 | | The Day of Judgment is a fact; therefore, whoever wishes may choose to seek refuge in his Lord |
| 78:40 | | I (God) have sufficiently warned you of this upcoming day of punishment. The Day of Judgment is the day that everyone will see what his two hands’ deeds have prepared for such a day. On that day the disbelievers will say: “Oh, I wish I were nothing but dust.&rdquo |
