78 - The Great Event |
| |
|
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
| |
| |
| 1 | Of what do they ask one another? |
| |
| 2 | About the great event, |
| |
| 3 | About which they differ? |
| |
| 4 | Nay! they shall soon come to know |
| |
| 5 | Nay! Nay! they shall soon know. |
| |
| 6 | Have We not made the earth an even expanse? |
| |
| 7 | And the mountains as projections (thereon)? |
| |
| 8 | And We created you in pairs, |
| |
| 9 | And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), |
| |
| 10 | And We made the night to be a covering, |
| |
| 11 | And We made the day for seeking livelihood. |
| |
| 12 | And We made above you seven strong ones, |
| |
| 13 | And We made a shining lamp, |
| |
| 14 | And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, |
| |
| 15 | That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, |
| |
| 16 | And gardens dense and luxuriant. |
| |
| 17 | Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: |
| |
| 18 | The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you.shall come forth in hosts |
| |
| 19 | And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, |
| |
| 20 | And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance. |
| |
| 21 | Surely hell lies in wait, |
| |
| 22 | A place of resort for the inordinate, |
| |
| 23 | Living therein for ages. |
| |
| 24 | They shall not taste therein cool nor drink |
| |
| 25 | But boiling and intensely cold water, |
| |
| 26 | Requital corresponding. |
| |
| 27 | Surely they feared not the account, |
| |
| 28 | And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth). |
| |
| 29 | And We have recorded everything in a book, |
| |
| 30 | So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement. |
| |
| 31 | Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement, |
| |
| 32 | Gardens and vineyards, |
| |
| 33 | And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age, |
| |
| 34 | And a pure cup. |
| |
| 35 | They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying. |
| |
| 36 | A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning: |
| |
| 37 | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent God, they shall not be able to address Him. |
| |
| 38 | The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent God permits and who speaks the right thing. |
| |
| 39 | That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord. |
| |
| 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! |
