78 - Surah An-Naba النبإ

About what are they asking one another?

ʿamma yatasāalūna

About the great news -

ʿani l-naba-i l-ʿaẓīmi

That over which they are in disagreement.

alladhī hum fīhi mukh'talifūna

No! They are going to know.

kallā sayaʿlamūna

Then, no! They are going to know.

thumma kallā sayaʿlamūna

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

alam najʿali l-arḍa mihādan

And the mountains as stakes?

wal-jibāla awtādan

And We created you in pairs

wakhalaqnākum azwājan

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

wajaʿalnā nawmakum subātan

And made the night as clothing

wajaʿalnā al-layla libāsan

And made the day for livelihood

wajaʿalnā l-nahāra maʿāshan

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

wabanaynā fawqakum sabʿan shidādan

And made [therein] a burning lamp

wajaʿalnā sirājan wahhājan

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

wa-anzalnā mina l-muʿ'ṣirāti māan thajjājan

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

linukh'rija bihi ḥabban wanabātan

And gardens of entwined growth.

wajannātin alfāfan

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

inna yawma l-faṣli kāna mīqātan

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

yawma yunfakhu fī l-ṣūri fatatūna afwājan

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

wafutiḥati l-samāu fakānat abwāban

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

wasuyyirati l-jibālu fakānat sarāban

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

inna jahannama kānat mir'ṣādan

For the transgressors, a place of return,

lilṭṭāghīna maāban

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

lābithīna fīhā aḥqāban

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

lā yadhūqūna fīhā bardan walā sharāban

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

illā ḥamīman waghassāqan

An appropriate recompense.

jazāan wifāqan

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

innahum kānū lā yarjūna ḥisāban

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

wakadhabū biāyātinā kidhāban

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

wakulla shayin aḥṣaynāhu kitāban

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

fadhūqū falan nazīdakum illā ʿadhāban

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

inna lil'muttaqīna mafāzan

Gardens and grapevines

ḥadāiqa wa-aʿnāban

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

wakawāʿiba atrāban

And a full cup.

wakasan dihāqan

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

lā yasmaʿūna fīhā laghwan walā kidhāban

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

jazāan min rabbika ʿaṭāan ḥisāban

[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.

rabbi l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā l-raḥmāni lā yamlikūna min'hu khiṭāban

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.

yawma yaqūmu l-rūḥu wal-malāikatu ṣaffan lā yatakallamūna illā man adhina lahu l-raḥmānu waqāla ṣawāban

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

dhālika l-yawmu l-ḥaqu faman shāa ittakhadha ilā rabbihi maāban

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!"

innā andharnākum ʿadhāban qarīban yawma yanẓuru l-maru mā qaddamat yadāhu wayaqūlu l-kāfiru yālaytanī kuntu turāban
