Surah An-Naba (The Tidings)

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿1﴾

78:1 About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ﴿2﴾

78:2 About the great news -

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ﴿3﴾

78:3 That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿4﴾

78:4 No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿5﴾

78:5 Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدࣰ ا ﴿6﴾

78:6 Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادࣰ ا ﴿7﴾

78:7 And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجࣰ ا ﴿8﴾

78:8 And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتࣰ ا ﴿9﴾

78:9 And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسࣰ ا ﴿10﴾

78:10 And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشࣰ ا ﴿11﴾

78:11 And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعࣰ ا شِدَادࣰ ا ﴿12﴾

78:12 And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجࣰ ا وَهَّاجࣰ ا ﴿13﴾

78:13 And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءࣰ ثَجَّاجࣰ ا ﴿14﴾

78:14 And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبࣰّ ا وَنَبَاتࣰ ا ﴿15﴾

78:15 That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ﴿16﴾

78:16 And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتࣰ ا ﴿17﴾

78:17 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجࣰ ا ﴿18﴾

78:18 The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبࣰ ا ﴿19﴾

78:19 And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ﴿20﴾

78:20 And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادࣰ ا ﴿21﴾

78:21 Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابࣰ ا ﴿22﴾

78:22 For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابࣰ ا ﴿23﴾

78:23 In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدࣰ ا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿24﴾

78:24 They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمࣰ ا وَغَسَّاقࣰ ا ﴿25﴾

78:25 Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَآءࣰ وِفَاقًا ﴿26﴾

78:26 An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابࣰ ا ﴿27﴾

78:27 Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابࣰ ا ﴿28﴾

78:28 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبࣰ ا ﴿29﴾

78:29 But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿30﴾

78:30 "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿31﴾

78:31 Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبࣰ ا ﴿32﴾

78:32 Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابࣰ ا ﴿33﴾

78:33 And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأۡسࣰ ا دِهَاقࣰ ا ﴿34﴾

78:34 And a full cup.

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوࣰ ا وَلَا كِذَّٰبࣰ ا ﴿35﴾

78:35 No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَآءࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابࣰ ا ﴿36﴾

78:36 [As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابࣰ ا ﴿37﴾

78:37 [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.

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفࣰّ اۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابࣰ ا ﴿38﴾

78:38 The 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 ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا ﴿39﴾

78:39 That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابࣰ ا قَرِيبࣰ ا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا ﴿40﴾

78:40 Indeed, 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!"
