| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah The Tidings, The Announcement(an-Naba`)
--- |
|---|
| 78:1 | | Of what do they question one another |
| 78:2 | | About the Great News |
| 78:3 | | About which they are in disagreement |
| 78:4 | | Verily, they shall soon come to kno |
| 78:5 | | Verily, verily, they shall soon come to know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth an expanse |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as projections (thereon) |
| 78:8 | | And created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And made your sleep for rest |
| 78:10 | | And made the night to be a covering |
| 78:11 | | And made the day for livelihood and activity |
| 78:12 | | And made above you seven firmaments (heavens) |
| 78:13 | | And placed therein a shining lamp (the Sun) |
| 78:14 | | And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance |
| 78:15 | | That We may bring forth thereby corn and vegetable |
| 78:16 | | And gardens dense and luxuriant |
| 78:17 | | Surely the Day of Decision (or Sorting ) is a thing appointed |
| 78:18 | | The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven shall be opened as if it were all doors |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance |
| 78:21 | | Surely hell lies in ambush |
| 78:22 | | A destination for those who transgress the bounds |
| 78:23 | | Abiding therein for ages |
| 78:24 | | They shall not taste therein anything cool nor drin |
| 78:25 | | But boiling and intensely cold water |
| 78:26 | | Requital corresponding (or proportional to their state) |
| 78:27 | | Surely they feared not the account |
| 78:28 | | And called Our revelations a lie with strong denial |
| 78:29 | | And We have preserved all things in a Record |
| 78:30 | | "So taste you (the fruits of your deeds)! For We will not add to you aught but torment |
| 78:31 | | Surely for the righteous is achievement (or success, self-fulfilment) |
| 78:32 | | Gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age |
| 78:34 | | And a pure cup |
| 78:35 | | They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying |
| 78:36 | | A reward from your Lord, a gift according to reckoning (or sufficient) |
| 78:37 | | From the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, with whom none can argue |
| 78:38 | | The day on which the Spirit and the angels shall stand arrayed; they speak not except him whom the Beneficent permits and who speaks aright |
| 78:39 | | That is the Day of Certain Reality, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Surely We have warned you of a doom near at hand: the day when man shall see that which his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say, "O! Would that I were dust!" |
