78. An-Naba

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

ENAbout what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

ENAbout the great news -

ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

ENThat over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

ENNo! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

ENThen, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًۭا

ENHave We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا

ENAnd the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا

ENAnd We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا

ENAnd made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا

ENAnd made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا

ENAnd made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا

ENAnd constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا

ENAnd made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا

ENAnd sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا

ENThat We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا

ENAnd gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا

ENIndeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا

ENThe Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا

ENAnd the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

ENAnd the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا

ENIndeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا

ENFor the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا

ENIn which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا

ENThey will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا

ENExcept scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا

ENAn appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا

ENIndeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا

ENAnd denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًۭا

ENBut all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

EN"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

ENIndeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًۭا

ENGardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًۭا

ENAnd full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًۭا دِهَاقًۭا

ENAnd a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًۭا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًۭا

ENNo ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًۭا

EN[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا

EN[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا

ENThe Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

ENThat is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا

ENIndeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
