أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿1﴾
78:1
What are they asking one another about?
2
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿2﴾
78:2
About the momentous news,
3
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿3﴾
78:3
over which they disagree.1
4
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿4﴾
78:4
But no! They will come to know.
5
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿5﴾
78:5
Again, no! They will come to know.
6
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًۭا ﴿6﴾
78:6
Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,
7
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًۭا ﴿7﴾
78:7
and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs,1
8
وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ﴿8﴾
78:8
and created you in pairs,
9
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًۭا ﴿9﴾
78:9
and made your sleep for rest,
10
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًۭا ﴿10﴾
78:10
and made the night as a cover,
11
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًۭا ﴿11﴾
78:11
and made the day for livelihood,
12
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًۭا شِدَادًۭا ﴿12﴾
78:12
and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺,
13
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًۭا وَهَّاجًۭا ﴿13﴾
78:13
and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp,
14
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا ﴿14﴾
78:14
and sent down from rainclouds pouring water,
15
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا ﴿15﴾
78:15
producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants,
16
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿16﴾
78:16
and dense orchards?
17
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًۭا ﴿17﴾
78:17
Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time—
18
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا ﴿18﴾
78:18
˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.
19
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا ﴿19﴾
78:19
The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates,
20
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿20﴾
78:20
and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.
21
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًۭا ﴿21﴾
78:21
Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush
22
لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابًۭا ﴿22﴾
78:22
as a home for the transgressors,
23
لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَابًۭا ﴿23﴾
78:23
where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages.
24
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًۭا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿24﴾
78:24
There they will not taste any coolness or drink,
25
إِلَّا حَمِيمًۭا وَغَسَّاقًۭا ﴿25﴾
78:25
except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus—
26
جَزَآءًۭ وِفَاقًا ﴿26﴾
78:26
a fitting reward.
27
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًۭا ﴿27﴾
78:27
For they never expected any reckoning,
28
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابًۭا ﴿28﴾
78:28
and totally rejected Our signs.
29
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًۭا ﴿29﴾
78:29
And We have everything recorded precisely.
30
فَذُوقُوا۟ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿30﴾
78:30
˹So the deniers will be told,˺ “Taste ˹the punishment˺, for all you will get from Us is more torment.”
