| 78:1 | | What are they asking each other about |
| 78:2 | | About the awesome tidings |
| 78:3 | | About which they are in disagreement |
| 78:4 | | No indeed! (They have no need to disagree or question one another about it:) Soon they will come to know |
| 78:5 | | Again, no indeed! Soon they will come to know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth as a cradle |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as masts |
| 78:8 | | And We have created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And We have made your sleep for rest |
| 78:10 | | And We have made the night as a cloak (covering both you and the world) |
| 78:11 | | And We have made the day for seeking livelihood |
| 78:12 | | And We have built above you seven firm heavens |
| 78:13 | | And We have set up (therein) a lamp blazing and resplendent |
| 78:14 | | And We send down out of the rain-clouds water in abundance |
| 78:15 | | So that We may produce with it grain and plants |
| 78:16 | | And gardens dense and luxuriant |
| 78:17 | | Now assuredly, the Day of Judgment and Distinction is a time appointed (as the result of all that takes place in this world) |
| 78:18 | | The Day when the Trumpet is blown and you all come forth in hosts |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven is opened (for the descent of angels), and becomes as if gates (so that the world of angels and the world of humankind join each other) |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains are set in motion and so become as if they had never existed |
| 78:21 | | Surely Hell lies as a place for surveillance |
| 78:22 | | For the (disbelieving) rebellious, (and) a destined home (which they prepared for themselves while in the world) |
| 78:23 | | Wherein they will remain for ages |
| 78:24 | | There they will taste neither coolness nor any drink |
| 78:25 | | Except boiling water and pus |
| 78:26 | | As a recompense fitting (for their sins) |
| 78:27 | | For they used not to expect to be called to account (for their deeds) |
| 78:28 | | And denied Our Revelations (and all Our other signs in the universe) with willful, obstinate denial |
| 78:29 | | And every thing (that they did) We wrote down as a record |
| 78:30 | | So: "Taste (the fruit of your deeds), and We will not increase you except in suffering." |
| 78:31 | | For the God-revering, pious there will surely be triumph |
| 78:32 | | Gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And youthful, full-breasted maidens of equal age |
| 78:34 | | And a cup full to the brim |
| 78:35 | | They will hear therein neither vain talk nor falsehood |
| 78:36 | | (All this as) a reward from your Lord, a gift according to (His) reckoning in full satisfaction |
| 78:37 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and (all) that is between them, the All-Merciful. No one will have the power to address Him |
| 78:38 | | On that Day the Spirit and the angels stand in ranks. No one will speak except him whom the All-Merciful allows, and he speaks what is right |
| 78:39 | | That Day (of Judgment) is the Day absolutely true (on which the truth will prevail). So whoever wills, then, let him take a way of return to his Lord |
| 78:40 | | We have surely warned you against a punishment near at hand. On that Day a person will look at what he has forwarded (from the world) with his own hands, and the unbeliever will say: "Oh, would that I were mere dust (instead of being a responsible being with consciousness and free will)!" |
