78:1  Of what do they question one another

78:2  About the Great News

78:3  About which they are in disagreement

78:4  Verily, they shall soon come to kno

78:5  Verily, verily, they shall soon come to know

78:6  Have We not made the earth an expanse

78:7  And the mountains as projections (thereon)

78:8  And created you in pairs

78:9  And made your sleep for rest

78:10  And made the night to be a covering

78:11  And made the day for livelihood and activity

78:12  And made above you seven firmaments (heavens)

78:13  And placed therein a shining lamp (the Sun)

78:14  And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance

78:15  That We may bring forth thereby corn and vegetable

78:16  And gardens dense and luxuriant

78:17  Surely the Day of Decision (or Sorting ) is a thing appointed

78:18  The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts

78:19  And the heaven shall be opened as if it were all doors

78:20  And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance

78:21  Surely hell lies in ambush

78:22  A destination for those who transgress the bounds

78:23  Abiding therein for ages

78:24  They shall not taste therein anything cool nor drin

78:25  But boiling and intensely cold water

78:26  Requital corresponding (or proportional to their state)

78:27  Surely they feared not the account

78:28  And called Our revelations a lie with strong denial

78:29  And We have preserved all things in a Record

78:30  "So taste you (the fruits of your deeds)! For We will not add to you aught but torment

78:31  Surely for the righteous is achievement (or success, self-fulfilment)

78:32  Gardens and vineyards

78:33  And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age

78:34  And a pure cup

78:35  They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying

78:36  A reward from your Lord, a gift according to reckoning (or sufficient)

78:37  From the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, with whom none can argue

78:38  The day on which the Spirit and the angels shall stand arrayed; they speak not except him whom the Beneficent permits and who speaks aright

78:39  That is the Day of Certain Reality, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord

78:40  Surely We have warned you of a doom near at hand: the day when man shall see that which his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say, "O! Would that I were dust!"
