Surah 78 The Tidings - An-Naba', 40 verses (Makka)
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Concerning what are they disputing?
- Concerning the Great News,
- About which they cannot agree.
- Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
- Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
- Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,
- And the mountains as pegs?
- And (have We not) created you in pairs,
- And made your sleep for rest,
- And made the night as a covering,
- And made the day as a means of subsistence?
- And (have We not) built over you the seven
firmaments,
- And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?
- And do We not send down from the clouds water in
abundance,
- That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,
- And gardens of luxurious growth?
- Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,
- The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye
shall come forth in crowds;
- And the heavens shall be opened as if there were
doors,
- And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a
mirage.
- Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,
- For the transgressors a place of destination:
- They will dwell therein for ages.
- Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any
drink,
- Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky,
intensely cold,
- A fitting recompense (for them).
- For that they used not to fear any account (for
their deeds),
- But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.
- And all things have We preserved on record.
- "So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no
increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."
- Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment
of (the heart's) desires;
- Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;
- Companions of equal age;
- And a cup full (to the brim).
- No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-
- Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply)
sufficient,
- (From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and
all between, (God) Most Gracious: None shall have power
to argue with Him.
- The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand
forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is
permitted by (God) Most Gracious, and He will say what
is right.
- That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso
will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!
- Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the
Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have
sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me!
Would that I were (metre) dust!"
