What are they asking one another about?
78:1
About the momentous news,
78:2
over which they disagree.1
78:3
But no! They will come to know.
78:4
Again, no! They will come to know.
78:5
Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,
78:6
and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs,1
78:7
and created you in pairs,
78:8
and made your sleep for rest,
78:9
and made the night as a cover,
78:10
and made the day for livelihood,
78:11
and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺,
78:12
and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp,
78:13
and sent down from rainclouds pouring water,
78:14
producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants,
78:15
and dense orchards?
78:16
Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time—
78:17
˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.
78:18
The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates,
78:19
and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.
78:20
Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush
78:21
as a home for the transgressors,
78:22
where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages.
78:23
There they will not taste any coolness or drink,
78:24
except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus—
78:25
a fitting reward.
78:26
For they never expected any reckoning,
78:27
and totally rejected Our signs.
78:28
And We have everything recorded precisely.
78:29
˹So the deniers will be told,˺ “Taste ˹the punishment˺, for all you will get from Us is more torment.”
