| 78:1 | | About what do they ask one another? |
| 78:2 | | About the great news, |
| 78:3 | | concerning which they disagree? |
| 78:4 | | No, they will come to know. |
| 78:5 | | Again, no, they will come to know. |
| 78:6 | | Did We not make the earth habitable |
| 78:7 | | and the mountains pegs? |
| 78:8 | | And We created you in pairs. |
| 78:9 | | And We made your sleep for rest. |
| 78:10 | | And We made the night a covering. |
| 78:11 | | And We made the day (for earning) livelihood. |
| 78:12 | | And We built above you seven strong ones. |
| 78:13 | | And We made (the sun) a burning lamp . |
| 78:14 | | And We sent down from the rain-clouds, torrential rain, |
| 78:15 | | that We may bring forth through it grain and vegetation |
| 78:16 | | and dense gardens. |
| 78:17 | | The day of decision is certainly fixed. |
| 78:18 | | The day it will be blown into the trumpet (or structure of the universe) you will come forth in groups. |
| 78:19 | | And the sky will be opened so that it will become gates, |
| 78:20 | | and the mountains will be moved away, so that they will become like flowing sand. |
| 78:21 | | Hell certainly lies in wait, |
| 78:22 | | a home for the rebellious. |
| 78:23 | | They will stay in it for ages. |
| 78:24 | | They will taste therein neither coolness nor drink, |
| 78:25 | | except boiling water and pus*, * Dirty liquid that oozes out of wounds. |
| 78:26 | | a reward proportional (to their sins). |
| 78:27 | | They certainly did not hope that they would have to account for (their evil deeds), |
| 78:28 | | and they denied Our signs with a denial, |
| 78:29 | | and We have computed everything in a record. |
| 78:30 | | So taste (the punishment), and We will not increase for you anything except punishment. |
| 78:31 | | For those who guard (against evil there) is certainly an achievement: |
| 78:32 | | Gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | and young women of equal age, |
| 78:34 | | and a full cup. |
| 78:35 | | They will hear therein neither useless talk nor falsehood. |
| 78:36 | | Reward from your Fosterer, a gift (for the) account (of good deeds). |
| 78:37 | | The Fosterer of the skies and the earth and that which is between them, the Beneficent, they will not be able to address Him. |
| 78:38 | | The day the spirit (Jibreel) and the angels stand in ranks, they will not speak, except the one who is permitted by the Beneficent and he speaks aright. |
| 78:39 | | That's a real day (not fictitious), so whoever wills let him seek a home near his Fosterer. |
| 78:40 | | We warn you of a punishment that is near, the day man will see that which his hands had sent forth and the infidel will say, “I wish I were dust.” |
