English - Chapter 78 - An-Naba

Concerning what do the unbelievers ask questions of one another

Concerning the great news of the resurrection

about which they disagree

Assuredly they shall hereafter know the truth thereof

Again, assuredly they shall hereafter know the truth thereof

Have We not made the earth for a bed

and the mountains for stakes to fix the same

And have We not created you of two sexes

and appointed your sleep for rest

and made the night a garment to cover you

and destined the day to the gaining your livelihood

and built over you seven solid heavens

and placed therein a burning lamp

And do We not send down from the clouds pressing forth rain, water pouring down in abundance

that We may thereby produce corn, and herbs

and gardens planted thick with trees

Verily the day of separation is a fixed period

The day whereon the trumpet shall sound, and ye shall come in troops to judgment

and the heaven shall be opened, and shall be full of gates for the angels to pass through

and the mountains shall pass away, and become as a vapour

verily hell shall be a place of ambush

a receptacle for the transgressors

They shall not taste any refreshment therein, or any drink

except boiling water, and filthy corruption

A fit recompense for their deeds

For they hoped that they should not be brought to an account

and they disbelieved our signs, accusing them of falsehood

But every thing have We computed, and written down

Taste, therefore: We will not add unto you any other than torment

But for the pious is prepared a place of bliss

Gardens planted with trees, and vineyards

and damsels with swelling breasts, of equal age with themselves

and a full cup

They shall hear no vain discourse there, nor any falsehood

This shall be their recompense from thy Lord; a gift fully sufficient

From the Lord of heaven and earth, and of whatever is between them; the Merciful. The inhabitants of heaven or of earth shall not dare to demand audience of Him

The day whereon the spirit Gabriel, and the other angels shall stand in order, they shall not speak in behalf of themselves or others, except he only to whom the Merciful shall grant permission, and who shall say that which is right

This is the infallible day. Whoso, therefore, willeth, let him return unto his Lord

Verily We threaten you with a punishment nigh at hand: The day whereon a man shall behold the good or evil deeds which his hands have sent before him; and the unbeliever shall say, would to God I were dust
