78:1  Concerning what are they asking

78:2  Concerning the great news

78:3  About which they cannot agree

78:4  Surely, they shall soon know

78:5  Surely, (but) surely, they shall soon know

78:6  Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse (as a bed)

78:7  And the mountains as pegs

78:8  And (have We not) created you in pairs

78:9  And made your sleep for rest

78:10  And made the night as an umbrella of peace

78:11  And made the day for finding livelihoo

78:12  And (have We not) built over you the seven strong arches of the heavens

78:13  And placed (in there) a Light of brilliance

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

78:15  That We may produce with it, corn and vegetables

78:16  And gardens of rich growth

78:17  Surely, the Day of Judgment is an event appointed—

78:18  The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded and you shall come forward in crowds

78:19  And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors

78:20  And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage

78:21  Truly, Hell is like a place of ambush—

78:22  For those who fought (against Faith); (Their) place of eternal stay

78:23  They will live in there for ages

78:24  Nothing cool shall they taste there, nor any drink

78:25  Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, grim, bitterly cold—

78:26  A fitting return (for their actions and for them)

78:27  Because, they did not fear any accounting (of their deeds)

78:28  But they (grimly) treated Our Signs as false

78:29  And all things, We have preserved on record

78:30  So taste you (the reward), because We shall not grant you any increase except in (your) punishment

78:31  Surely, For the righteous there will be a fulfillment of (their hearts) desires

78:32  Gardens enclosed, and grapevines

78:33  Companions of equal age

78:34  And a Cup full (to the very top)

78:35  In there, they shall not hear useless talk, vanity (and they shall not hear) anything false—

78:36  Reward from your Lord a gift, (large and) sufficient

78:37  (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between— (Allah) Most Gracious (Rahman): None shall have power to argue with Him

78:38  The Day that the Spirit (Gabriel) and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak, except anyone who is permitted by (Allah): Most Gracious (Rahman), and he (the speaker) will say (only) what is correct

78:39  Surely, that Day will be the Reality: Therefore, let anyone who wishes, let him take a (straight) path returning to his Lord

78:40  Surely, We have warned you of a penalty near— The Day when man will see (the very acts) which his hands have sent forward, and the unbelievers will say, "Misery upon me! I may as well be (mere) dust!"
