78. An-Naba

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

About what are they asking one another

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Is it about the awesome tiding

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

that they are in utter disagreement

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

No indeed; soon will they come to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

again, no indeed; soon will they come to know

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدࣰ ا

Have We not spread the earth like a bed

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادࣰ ا

and fixed the mountains like pegs

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجࣰ ا

and created you in pairs (as men and women)

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتࣰ ا

and made your sleep a means of repose

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسࣰ ا

and made the night a covering

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشࣰ ا

and made the day to seek livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعࣰ ا شِدَادࣰ ا

and built above you seven strong firmaments

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجࣰ ا وَهَّاجࣰ ا

and placed therein a hot, shining lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءࣰ ثَجَّاجࣰ ا

and sent down abundant water from the clouds

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبࣰّ ا وَنَبَاتࣰ ا

so that We may thereby bring forth grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

and gardens dense with foliage

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتࣰ ا

Surely the Day of Judgement has an appointed time

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجࣰ ا

the Day when the Trumpet shall be blown, and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبࣰ ا

and when the sky shall be opened up and will become all doors

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

and the mountains will be set in motion and become a mirage

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادࣰ ا

Surely the Hell is an ambush

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابࣰ ا

a resort for the rebellious

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابࣰ ا

therein they shall abide for ages

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدࣰ ا وَلَا شَرَابًا

they shall taste in it no coolness, nor any pleasant drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمࣰ ا وَغَسَّاقࣰ ا

save boiling water and wash of the wounds

جَزَآءࣰ وِفَاقًا

a befitting recompense for their deeds

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابࣰ ا

For indeed they did not look forward to any reckoning

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابࣰ ا

and roundly denied Our Signs as false

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبࣰ ا

And everything have We recorded in a Book

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste (the fruit of your deeds). We shall only increase your torment

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Surely the state of triumph awaits the God-fearing

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبࣰ ا

gardens and vineyards

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابࣰ ا

and youthful maidens of like age

وَكَأۡسࣰ ا دِهَاقࣰ ا

and an overflowing cup

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوࣰ ا وَلَا كِذَّٰبࣰ ا

Therein they shall hear no idle talk, nor any falsehood

جَزَآءࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابࣰ ا

a recompense from your Lord and an ample reward

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابࣰ ا

from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of that which is between them; the Most Merciful Lord before Whom none dare utter a word

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفࣰّ اۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابࣰ ا

The Day when the Spirit and the angels are ranged row on row. None shall speak save he whom the Merciful Lord will permit; and he too will speak what is right

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

That Day is sure to come. So let him who will seek a resort with his Lord

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابࣰ ا قَرِيبࣰ ا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا

Lo! We warn you of a chastisement near at hand; the Day when a man will look on what his own hands have sent forth, and the unbelievers shall say: “Oh would that I were utter dust.”
