78:1  Concerning what do the unbelievers ask questions of one another

78:2  Concerning the great news of the resurrection

78:3  about which they disagree

78:4  Assuredly they shall hereafter know the truth thereof

78:5  Again, assuredly they shall hereafter know the truth thereof

78:6  Have We not made the earth for a bed

78:7  and the mountains for stakes to fix the same

78:8  And have We not created you of two sexes

78:9  and appointed your sleep for rest

78:10  and made the night a garment to cover you

78:11  and destined the day to the gaining your livelihood

78:12  and built over you seven solid heavens

78:13  and placed therein a burning lamp

78:14  And do We not send down from the clouds pressing forth rain, water pouring down in abundance

78:15  that We may thereby produce corn, and herbs

78:16  and gardens planted thick with trees

78:17  Verily the day of separation is a fixed period

78:18  The day whereon the trumpet shall sound, and ye shall come in troops to judgment

78:19  and the heaven shall be opened, and shall be full of gates for the angels to pass through

78:20  and the mountains shall pass away, and become as a vapour

78:21  verily hell shall be a place of ambush

78:22  a receptacle for the transgressors

78:23  who shall remain therein for ages

78:24  They shall not taste any refreshment therein, or any drink

78:25  except boiling water, and filthy corruption

78:26  A fit recompense for their deeds

78:27  For they hoped that they should not be brought to an account

78:28  and they disbelieved our signs, accusing them of falsehood

78:29  But every thing have We computed, and written down

78:30  Taste, therefore: We will not add unto you any other than torment

78:31  But for the pious is prepared a place of bliss

78:32  Gardens planted with trees, and vineyards

78:33  and damsels with swelling breasts, of equal age with themselves

78:34  and a full cup

78:35  They shall hear no vain discourse there, nor any falsehood

78:36  This shall be their recompense from thy Lord; a gift fully sufficient

78:37  From the Lord of heaven and earth, and of whatever is between them; the Merciful. The inhabitants of heaven or of earth shall not dare to demand audience of Him

78:38  The day whereon the spirit Gabriel, and the other angels shall stand in order, they shall not speak in behalf of themselves or others, except he only to whom the Merciful shall grant permission, and who shall say that which is right

78:39  This is the infallible day. Whoso, therefore, willeth, let him return unto his Lord

78:40  Verily We threaten you with a punishment nigh at hand: The day whereon a man shall behold the good or evil deeds which his hands have sent before him; and the unbeliever shall say, would to God I were dust
