| | Faridul Haque rendition of Surah The Tidings, The Announcement(an-Naba`)
--- |

| 78:1 | | What are they questioning each other about |
| 78:2 | | About the great tidings |
| 78:3 | | Regarding which they hold different views |
| 78:4 | | Surely yes, they will soon come to know |
| 78:5 | | Again surely yes, they will soon come to know |
| 78:6 | | Did We not make the earth a bed |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as pegs |
| 78:8 | | And it is We who created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And made your sleep a rest |
| 78:10 | | And made the night a cover |
| 78:11 | | And made the day for seeking livelihood |
| 78:12 | | And built seven strong roofs above you |
| 78:13 | | And have kept a very bright lamp in it |
| 78:14 | | And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds |
| 78:15 | | In order to produce grain and plants with it |
| 78:16 | | And dense gardens |
| 78:17 | | Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed |
| 78:18 | | The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven will be opened - it therefore becomes like gates |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains will be moved - they will therefore become like mirages |
| 78:21 | | Indeed hell is lying in ambush |
| 78:22 | | The destination of the rebellious |
| 78:23 | | They will remain in it for ages |
| 78:24 | | They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink |
| 78:25 | | Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell |
| 78:26 | | The reward to each is according to what he is |
| 78:27 | | Indeed they had no fear of the account |
| 78:28 | | And they denied Our signs to the extreme |
| 78:29 | | And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for |
| 78:30 | | Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment |
| 78:31 | | Indeed the place of success is for the pious |
| 78:32 | | Gardens and grapes |
| 78:33 | | And maidens of a single age |
| 78:34 | | And an overflowing cup |
| 78:35 | | In which they shall neither hear lewd talk, nor any lie |
| 78:36 | | A reward from your Lord - a grossly sufficient bestowal |
| 78:37 | | 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 |
| 78:38 | | 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. |
| 78:39 | | That is the True Day; therefore whoever wills may take the path towards his Lord |
| 78:40 | | 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!&rdquo |
