An-Naba

Quran Text — An-Naba

78:1 What are they asking one another about?

78:2 About the extraordinary news.

78:3 That they are in disagreement over.

78:4 Indeed, they will surely know.

78:5 Indeed, once again, they will surely know.

78:6 Didn’t We make the earth a cradle?

78:7 And the mountains as pegs?

78:8 And created you in pairs?

78:9 And made your sleep for rest?

78:10 And made the night a cover?

78:11 And made the day for livelihood?

78:12 And built above you seven firmaments?

78:13 And placed therein a shining lamp?

78:14 And sent down, from the rain-clouds, abundant water?

78:15 To produce with it grains and plants.

78:16 And lush, luxuriant gardens?

78:17 The Day of Sorting is an appointed time.

78:18 The Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will come in crowds.

78:19 And the sky is opened, and it becomes gateways.

78:20 And the mountains will be set in motion, becoming a mirage.

78:21 Hell is a lurking threat.

78:22 A destination for the oppressors.

78:23 Where they will remain for eons.

78:24 They won’t taste therein any coolness or drink.

78:25 Except boiling water and freezing cold hail.

78:26 An appropriate recompense.

78:27 For they were not expecting accountability.

78:28 And they denied Our verses with vehement denial.

78:29 But all things We’ve accounted for in writing.

78:30 So taste; We will only increase your suffering.

78:31 For the righteous, however, there is triumph.

78:32 Gardens and vineyards.

78:33 And companions of equal age.

78:34 And a full cup.

78:35 They won’t hear therein any vain talk or sinful speech.

78:36 A reward from your Lord, a generous gift as calculated.

78:37 The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and what’s between them, the Most Merciful. None can converse with Him.

78:38 On the Day when the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they won’t speak, except for one whom the Most Merciful allows, who will say what’s right.

78:39 That is the Day of Truth. So whoever wills, let them seek a way to his Lord.

78:40 We have warned you of a near punishment—the Day when a person will see what his hands have forwarded, and the unbeliever will say, “I wish I were mere dust!”
