| 78:1 | | About what are they asking one another |
| 78:2 | | Is it about the awesome tidin |
| 78:3 | | that they are in utter disagreement |
| 78:4 | | No indeed; soon will they come to know |
| 78:5 | | again, no indeed; soon will they come to know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not spread the earth like a bed |
| 78:7 | | and fixed the mountains like pegs |
| 78:8 | | and created you in pairs (as men and women) |
| 78:9 | | and made your sleep a means of repose |
| 78:10 | | and made the night a covering |
| 78:11 | | and made the day to seek livelihood |
| 78:12 | | and built above you seven strong firmaments |
| 78:13 | | and placed therein a hot, shining lamp |
| 78:14 | | and sent down abundant water from the cloud |
| 78:15 | | so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation |
| 78:16 | | and gardens dense with foliage |
| 78:17 | | Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time |
| 78:18 | | the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes |
| 78:19 | | and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors |
| 78:20 | | and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage |
| 78:21 | | Surely the Hell is an ambush |
| 78:22 | | a resort for the rebellious |
| 78:23 | | therein they shall abide for ages |
| 78:24 | | they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drin |
| 78:25 | | save boiling water and wash of the wounds |
| 78:26 | | a befitting recompense for their deeds |
| 78:27 | | For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning |
| 78:28 | | and roundly denied Our Signs as false |
| 78:29 | | And everything have We recorded in a Book |
| 78:30 | | So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment |
| 78:31 | | Surely the state of triumph awaits the God-fearing |
| 78:32 | | gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | and youthful maidens of like age |
| 78:34 | | and an overflowing cup |
| 78:35 | | Therein they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood |
| 78:36 | | a recompense from your Lord and an ample rewar |
| 78:37 | | from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of that which is between them; the Most Merciful Lord before Whom none dare utter a word |
| 78:38 | | The Day when the Spirit and the angels are ranged row on row. None shall speak save he whom the Merciful Lord will permit; and he too will speak what is right |
| 78:39 | | That Day is sure to come. So let him who will seek a resort with his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Lo! We warn you of a chastisement near at hand; the Day when a man will look on what his own hands have sent forth, and the unbelievers shall say: "Oh would that I were utter dust." |
