Chapter 78 (Sura 78)
1; OF WHAT ARE they asking one another?
2; (Is it) of the great announcement
3; About which they have been differing?
4; Indeed they will come to know soon;
5; They will indeed come to know soon.
6; Did We not make the earth a spreading,
7; The mountains tent-pins?
8; We created you in pairs,
9; And made sleep for you to rest,
10; The night a covering,
11; And the day for seeking livelihood.
12; We raised over you several secure (skies),
13; And placed a lamp therein brightly burning.
14; And We sent down rain from water-laden clouds pouring in torrents
15; That We may produce from it grain and vegetation,
16; And orchards full of trees and interlacing boughs.
17; Surely a time is fixed for the Day of Judgement.
18; The day the trumpet blast is sounded you will come in hordes;
19; The heavens will be opened wide and turn into so many doors,
20; The mountains put in motion turning into a mirage.
21; Certainly Hell lies in wait,
22; The rebels´ abode,
23; Where they will remain for aeons,
24; Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink
25; Except boiling water and benumbing cold:
26; , A fitting reward.
27; They were those who did not expect a reckoning,
28; And rejected Our signs as lies.
29; We have kept account of everything in a book.
30; So taste (the fruit of what you sowed), for We shall add nothing but torment,
31; As for those who preserve themselves from evil and follow the straight path, there is attainment for them:
32; Orchards and vineyards,
33; And graceful maidens of the same age,
34; And flasks full and flowing.
35; They will hear no blasphemies there or disavowals:
36; A recompense from your Lord, a sufficient gift,
37; The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that lies between them, most benevolent, to whom none may dare address a word.
38; The day the Spirit takes its stand, with the angels ranged in rows. None will speak except who is permitted by Ar-Rahman and says what is right.
39; That day is certain. So whosoever likes may prepare a way to his Lord.
40; We have indeed warned you of a calamity near at hand, a day when man will see what he had sent (of his deeds) ahead, and the unbeliever will say: “Woe alas. Ah would that I were dust!”
