| 78:1 | | What do they question each other about |
| 78:2 | | About the awesome news [of the Resurrection and life after death |
| 78:3 | | which they cannot agree on |
| 78:4 | | No! But they will come to know (soon enough) |
| 78:5 | | No! Surey they will find out |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth easy and wid |
| 78:7 | | "and (We made) the mountains as pegs (to hold it firm)," |
| 78:8 | | "and created you in pairs," |
| 78:9 | | "and have made your sleep for rest," |
| 78:10 | | "and have made the night as a cloak," |
| 78:11 | | and have made the day as a time to earn your living |
| 78:12 | | "And We have built above you seven strong heavens," |
| 78:13 | | "and have made a blazing lamp [the sun]," |
| 78:14 | | and have sent down from the rain clouds abundantwater |
| 78:15 | | "so that We may produce with it grain and vegetables," |
| 78:16 | | "and gardens, thick with leaves." |
| 78:17 | | Surely the Day of Decision has a set time |
| 78:18 | | "a Day when the trumpet will be blown, and you shall come in great crowds" |
| 78:19 | | "and the heaven will be opened as if there were gates (in it)," |
| 78:20 | | and the mountains shall vanish as if they were a mirage |
| 78:21 | | "Surely Hell is waiting in ambush, " |
| 78:22 | | "a home for those who pass the limits," |
| 78:23 | | "living there for ages," |
| 78:24 | | "tasting no coolness there, nor any drink" |
| 78:25 | | "except boiling water and filthy fluids [such as the sweat, tear, and pus of the people of Hell]:" |
| 78:26 | | a punishment to fit the crime |
| 78:27 | | "Look, they did not think that their deeds would be counted," |
| 78:28 | | but they called Our verses lies and denied them |
| 78:29 | | and We have recorded everything in a Book |
| 78:30 | | So taste (what you have earned). We will not give you more of anything except punishment |
| 78:31 | | "Truly, for the righteous ones there will be a place of victory --" |
| 78:32 | | private gardens and grapevines |
| 78:33 | | "and young women, the same age (as them, for company)," |
| 78:34 | | "and a cup, full (to the brim)." |
| 78:35 | | "There, they never hear trivial talk [useless, vain, idle talk; speaking of things which are not important] or lies --" |
| 78:36 | | a reward from your Lord; a satisfying gif |
| 78:37 | | "(from) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Merciful, with Whom no one has the power to argue." |
| 78:38 | | "On the day the Spirit [e.g. Jibr???l] and the angels stand in rows, no one will speak except he who has the permission of the All-Merciful, and who says what is right." |
| 78:39 | | "That is the Day of Truth; so whoever wishes should find a way to return to his Lord [through obedience to Allah's commands, which will save one from punishment]!" |
| 78:40 | | "Truly, We have warned you about a nearby punishment, on a Day when a man will see (the deeds) that his own hands have sent before him, and the disbeliever will cry, 'Oh, if only I were dust!'" |
