| 78:1 | | Concerning what are they asking |
| 78:2 | | Concerning the great news |
| 78:3 | | About which they cannot agree |
| 78:4 | | Surely, they shall soon know |
| 78:5 | | Surely, (but) surely, they shall soon know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse (as a bed) |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as pegs |
| 78:8 | | And (have We not) created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And made your sleep for rest |
| 78:10 | | And made the night as an umbrella of peace |
| 78:11 | | And made the day for finding livelihoo |
| 78:12 | | And (have We not) built over you the seven strong arches of the heavens |
| 78:13 | | And placed (in there) a Light of brilliance |
| 78:14 | | And do We not send down from the clouds water, in plenty |
| 78:15 | | That We may produce with it, corn and vegetables |
| 78:16 | | And gardens of rich growth |
| 78:17 | | Surely, the Day of Judgment is an event appointed&mdash |
| 78:18 | | The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded and you shall come forward in crowds |
| 78:19 | | And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage |
| 78:21 | | Truly, Hell is like a place of ambush&mdash |
| 78:22 | | For those who fought (against Faith); (Their) place of eternal stay |
| 78:23 | | They will live in there for ages |
| 78:24 | | Nothing cool shall they taste there, nor any drink |
| 78:25 | | Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, grim, bitterly cold&mdash |
| 78:26 | | A fitting return (for their actions and for them) |
| 78:27 | | Because, they did not fear any accounting (of their deeds) |
| 78:28 | | But they (grimly) treated Our Signs as false |
| 78:29 | | And all things, We have preserved on record |
| 78:30 | | So taste you (the reward), because We shall not grant you any increase except in (your) punishment |
| 78:31 | | Surely, For the righteous there will be a fulfillment of (their hearts) desires |
| 78:32 | | Gardens enclosed, and grapevines |
| 78:33 | | Companions of equal age |
| 78:34 | | And a Cup full (to the very top) |
| 78:35 | | In there, they shall not hear useless talk, vanity (and they shall not hear) anything false&mdash |
| 78:36 | | Reward from your Lord a gift, (large and) sufficient |
| 78:37 | | (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between— (Allah) Most Gracious (Rahman): None shall have power to argue with Him |
| 78:38 | | The Day that the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak, except anyone who is permitted by (Allah): Most Gracious (Rahman), and he (the speaker) will say (only) what is correct |
| 78:39 | | Surely, that Day will be the Reality: Therefore, let anyone who wishes, let him take a (straight) path returning to his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Surely, We have warned you of a penalty near— The Day when man will see (the very acts) which his hands have sent forward, and the unbelievers will say, "Misery upon me! I may as well be (mere) dust!" |
