| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Tidings, The Announcement(an-Naba`)
--- |
|---|
| 78:1 | | Of what do they ask one another |
| 78:2 | | Of the tremendous announcemen |
| 78:3 | | About which they differ |
| 78:4 | | Nay, they will soon know |
| 78:5 | | Nay, again, they will soon know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth an expans |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as pegs |
| 78:8 | | And we have created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And made your sleep for rest |
| 78:10 | | And made the night a covering |
| 78:11 | | And made the day for seeking livelihood |
| 78:12 | | And We have made above you seven strong (bodies) |
| 78:13 | | And made a shining lamp |
| 78:14 | | And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth in abundance |
| 78:15 | | That We may bring forth thereby grain and herbs |
| 78:16 | | And luxuriant gardens |
| 78:17 | | Surely the day of Decision is appointed - |
| 78:18 | | The day when the trumpet is blown, so you come forth in hosts |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven is opened so it becomes as doors |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains are moved off, so they remain a semblance |
| 78:21 | | Surely hell lies in wait |
| 78:22 | | A resort for the inordinate |
| 78:23 | | Living therein for long years |
| 78:24 | | They taste not therein coolness nor drink |
| 78:25 | | But boiling and intensely cold water |
| 78:26 | | Requital corresponding |
| 78:27 | | Surely they feared not the reckoning |
| 78:28 | | And rejected Our messages, giving the lie (thereto) |
| 78:29 | | And We have recorded everything in a book |
| 78:30 | | So taste, for We shall add to you naught but chastisement |
| 78:31 | | Surely for those who keep their duty is achievement |
| 78:32 | | Gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And youthful (companions), equals in age |
| 78:34 | | And a pure cup |
| 78:35 | | They hear not therein vain words, nor lying - |
| 78:36 | | A reward from thy Lord, a gift sufficient |
| 78:37 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent, they are not able to address Him |
| 78:38 | | The day when the spirit and the angels stand in ranks; none shall speak except he whom the Beneficent permits and he speaks aright |
| 78:39 | | That is the True Day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Truly We warn you of a chastisement near at hand -- the day when man will see what his hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will say: O would that I were dust |
