78:1  What are they questioning each other about

78:2  About the great tidings

78:3  Regarding which they hold different views

78:4  Surely yes, they will soon come to know

78:5  Again surely yes, they will soon come to know

78:6  Did We not make the earth a bed

78:7  And the mountains as pegs

78:8  And it is We who created you in pairs

78:9  And made your sleep a rest

78:10  And made the night a cover

78:11  And made the day for seeking livelihood

78:12  And built seven strong roofs above you

78:13  And have kept a very bright lamp in it

78:14  And then sent down hard rain from the water bearing clouds

78:15  In order to produce grain and plants with it

78:16  And dense gardens

78:17  Indeed the Day of Decision is a time fixed

78:18  The day when the Trumpet will be blown – you will therefore come forth in multitudes

78:19  And the heaven will be opened - it therefore becomes like gates

78:20  And the mountains will be moved - they will therefore become like mirages

78:21  Indeed hell is lying in ambush

78:22  The destination of the rebellious

78:23  They will remain in it for ages

78:24  They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink

78:25  Except hot boiling water and hot pus discharged from the people of hell

78:26  The reward to each is according to what he is

78:27  Indeed they had no fear of the account

78:28  And they denied Our signs to the extreme

78:29  And We have kept recorded everything in a Book, accounted for

78:30  Therefore taste it now – We shall not increase anything for you except the punishment

78:31  Indeed the place of success is for the pious

78:32  Gardens and grapes

78:33  And maidens of a single age

78:34  And an overflowing cup

78:35  In which they shall neither hear lewd talk, nor any lie

78:36  A reward from your Lord - a grossly sufficient bestowal

78:37  Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all whatever is between them - the Most Gracious - with Whom no one will have the right to talk

78:38  The day when Jibreel and all the angels will stand in rows; none will be able to speak except one whom the Most Gracious commands and who spoke rightly. (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – will be the first to be granted permission to intercede.

78:39  That is the True Day; therefore whoever wills may take the path towards his Lord

78:40  We warn you of a punishment that has come near; a day on which man will see what his own hands have sent ahead, and the disbeliever will say, “Alas – if only I were dust!”
