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 voluptuous women of equal 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 Allah, 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 Allah 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!
