Chapter 78

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

What are they inquiring about?

About the significant news.

The one which they are in disagreement about.

No, they will come to know.

No, then again, they will come to know.

Did We not make the earth a habitat?

And the mountains as pegs?

And We created you in pairs?

And We made your sleep for resting?

And We made the night as a covering?

And We made the day to work in?

And We constructed above you seven mighty ones?

And We made a blazing lamp?

And We sent down from the clouds abundant water,

To bring out with it seeds and plants,

And gardens of thick growth?

The Day of Separation is the designated time.

The Day when the horn is blown and you come in crowds.

And the heaven is opened, so it becomes gates.

And the mountains will be moved as if they were a mirage.

For Hell is in wait.

For the transgressors it is a dwelling.

They will be in it for eons.

They will not taste any coolness in it nor drink.

Except that which is boiling and dark.

An exact recompense.

They did not expect the reckoning.

And they denied Our revelations greatly.

And everything We have counted in a record.

So taste it, for no increase will come to you from Us except in retribution.

As for the righteous, they will have triumph.

Gardens and vineyards.

And bunches that are ripe.

And a cup that is full.

They do not hear in it any vain talk or lies.

A reward from your Lord, in recognition for what is done.

The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Almighty. They do not possess any authority besides Him.

The Day the Spirit and the angels stand in line, none will speak unless the Almighty permits him and he speaks what is true.

That is the Day of truth, so let whoever wills seek refuge to his Lord.

We have warned you of a retribution which is close, the Day when the human being will look at what he has brought forth and the rejecter will say: "I wish I were dust!"
