| 78:1 | | What are they questioning |
| 78:2 | | The great event |
| 78:3 | | That is disputed by them |
| 78:4 | | Indeed, they will find out |
| 78:5 | | Most assuredly, they will find out |
| 78:6 | | Did we not make the earth habitable |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains stabilizers |
| 78:8 | | We created you as mates (for one another) |
| 78:9 | | We created sleeping so you can rest |
| 78:10 | | We made the night a cover |
| 78:11 | | And the day to seek provisions |
| 78:12 | | We built above you seven universes |
| 78:13 | | We created a bright lamp |
| 78:14 | | We send down from the clouds pouring water |
| 78:15 | | To produce with it grains and plants |
| 78:16 | | And various orchards |
| 78:17 | | The Day of Decision is appointed |
| 78:18 | | The day the horn is blown, and you come in throngs |
| 78:19 | | The heaven will be opened like gates |
| 78:20 | | The mountains will be removed, as if they were a mirage |
| 78:21 | | Gehenna is inevitable |
| 78:22 | | For the transgressors; it will be their abode |
| 78:23 | | They stay in it for ages |
| 78:24 | | They never taste in it coolness, nor a drink |
| 78:25 | | Only an inferno, and bitter food |
| 78:26 | | A just requital |
| 78:27 | | They never expected to be held accountable |
| 78:28 | | And utterly rejected our signs |
| 78:29 | | We counted everything in a record |
| 78:30 | | Suffer the consequences; we will only increase your retribution |
| 78:31 | | The righteous have deserved a reward |
| 78:32 | | Orchards and grapes |
| 78:33 | | Magnificent spouses |
| 78:34 | | Delicious drinks |
| 78:35 | | They will never hear in it any nonsense or lies |
| 78:36 | | A reward from your Lord; a generous recompense |
| 78:37 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. The Most Gracious. No one can abrogate His decisions |
| 78:38 | | The day will come when the Spirit and the angels will stand in a row. None will speak except those permitted by the Most Gracious, and they will utter only what is right |
| 78:39 | | Such is the inevitable day. Whoever wills let him take refuge in his Lord |
| 78:40 | | We have sufficiently warned you about an imminent retribution. That is the day when everyone will examine what his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish I were dust." |
