an-Naba` (The Tidings, The Announcement) at IslamAwakened.com

78:1 About what they ask one another

78:2 About the supreme News

78:3 that one: they thereof are those who differ

78:4 By no means! Soon they will come to know

78:5 Again, (I repeat), by no means! Soon they will come to know

78:6 Have We not made the earth as a bed and abode

78:7 And the mountains as pegs (to keep the earth stable)

78:8 And We created you in pairs (masculine and feminine)

78:9 And We made your sleep Subatan (means of rest and revival)

78:10 And We made the night as a raiment

78:11 And We established the Day-time for earning livelihood

78:12 And We have built over and above you seven (or many) strongly built (heavens)

78:13 And We have set a highly shining object emitting bright light (as the sun in the nearest heaven)

78:14 And We sent down from the laden clouds water, raining heavily

78:15 so that We may produce therewith corn and vegetations

78:16 and gardens of overwhelming growth

78:17 Verily, Youmul Fasl (the Day of Decision) is (to occur at) a fixed time

78:18 The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, so you people would come forth in large groups

78:19 And the heaven is made opened, so it has turned into gates

78:20 And the mountains have been put in motion, so they have become a mirage

78:21 Truly, Hell has become a place of ambush

78:22 An abode for At-Taghun (those who cross the limits of beliefs and actions)

78:23 abiders therein for ages

78:24 They shall not taste therein anything cool and nor a (palatable) drink

78:25 except boiling water and a dark, murky, stinhead of state liquid —

78:26 (as) an exact recompense (to their beliefs and deeds)

78:27 Surely, they had not been loohead of state forward to Accountability

78:28 And they rejected and denied Ayaatina in a complete denial

78:29 And all things We have censussed and counted in the form of a Record

78:30 So taste you! So We never provide you an increase except (in the) torment

78:31 Verily, for the Muttaqun is meant the Place of success —

78:32 orchards and grape-yard

78:33 youthful personalities of identical age and nature

78:34 and a full cup (containing a non-intoxicating drink)

78:35 They shall not listen therein to Laghw, and nor falsehood —

78:36 as a reward from your Nourisher-Sustainer, a gift proportionate (to their performance)

78:37 Nourisher-Sustainer to the heavens and the earth, and whatever is in between those two, Ar-Rahman. People dare not speak to Him (against His Decision)

78:38 The Day Ar-Ruh (Jibriel) and (other) angels will stand forth in rows; people shall not speak except that (whom) Ar-Rahman has permitted unto him (to speak) and he said something commendable

78:39 That is Al-Yaumul Haqq. So whosoever desired he picked up to his Nourisher-Sustainer a place of (final) return

78:40 Verily We, We have warned you people of a torment very closeby — the Day a man will see what his two hands have sent forth in advance. And the disbeliever will say: “Oh, alas for me! Would that I were dust!”
