In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[78.1] Of
what do they ask one another?
[78.2] About
the great event,
[78.3] About
which they differ?
[78.4] Nay!
they shall soon come to know
[78.5] Nay!
Nay! they shall soon know.
[78.6] Have
We not made the earth an even expanse?
[78.7] And
the mountains as projections (thereon)?
[78.8] And
We created you in pairs,
[78.9] And
We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
[78.10] And
We made the night to be a covering,
[78.11] And
We made the day for seeking livelihood.
[78.12] And
We made above you seven strong ones,
[78.13] And
We made a shining lamp,
[78.14] And
We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
[78.15] That
We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
[78.16] And
gardens dense and luxuriant.
[78.17]
Surely the day of decision is (a day) 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 so that it shall be all openings,
[78.20] And
the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.
[78.21]
Surely hell lies in wait,
[78.22] A
place of resort for the inordinate,
[78.23]
Living therein for ages.
[78.24] They
shall not taste therein cool nor drink
[78.25] But
boiling and intensely cold water,
[78.26]
Requital corresponding.
[78.27]
Surely they feared not the account,
[78.28] And
called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
[78.29] And
We have recorded everything in a book,
[78.30] So
taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.
[78.31]
Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,
[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 a reckoning:
[78.37] The
Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent God, they shall
not be able to address Him.
[78.38] The
day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except
he whom the Beneficent God permits and who speaks the right thing.
[78.39] That
is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
[78.40]
Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what
his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
