عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١

About what are they asking one another?

78:2Page 582

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٢

About the great news¹ -

78:3Page 582

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ٣

That over which they are in disagreement.

78:4–5Page 582

كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٤

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٥

Then, no! They are going to know.

78:6Page 582

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا ٦

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

78:7Page 582

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا ٧

And the mountains as stakes?¹

78:8Page 582

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ٨

And We created you in pairs

78:9Page 582

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا ٩

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

78:10Page 582

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا ١٠

And made the night as clothing¹

78:11Page 582

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا ١١

And made the day for livelihood

78:12Page 582

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا ١٢

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

78:13Page 582

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا ١٣

And made [therein] a burning lamp

78:14Page 582

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا ١٤

And sent down from the rain clouds pouring water

78:15Page 582

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا ١٥

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

78:16Page 582

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ١٦

And gardens of entwined growth.

78:17Page 582

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا ١٧

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

78:18Page 582

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ١٨

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

78:19Page 582

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا ١٩

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

78:20Page 582

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ٢٠

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

78:21Page 582

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا ٢١

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

78:22Page 582

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا ٢٢

For the transgressors, a place of return,

78:23Page 582

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا ٢٣

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

78:24Page 582

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا ٢٤

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink.

78:25Page 582

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا ٢٥

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

78:26Page 582

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا ٢٦

An appropriate recompense.¹

78:27Page 582

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا ٢٧

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

78:28Page 582

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا ٢٨

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

78:29Page 582

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا ٢٩

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

78:30Page 582

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ٣٠

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."¹

78:31Page 583

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ٣١

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment¹ -

78:32Page 583

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا ٣٢

Gardens and grapevines

78:33Page 583

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابٗا ٣٣

And young women [companions] of equal age.

78:34Page 583

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا ٣٤

And a full cup.¹

78:35Page 583

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا ٣٥

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

78:36Page 583

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا ٣٦

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,¹

78:37Page 583

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا ٣٧

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.¹

78:38Page 583

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا ٣٨

The Day that the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

78:39Page 583

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا ٣٩

That is the True [i.e., certain] Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.¹

78:40Page 583

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا ٤٠

Indeed, We have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth¹ and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
