عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١
What are they asking one another about?
78:1
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٢
About the momentous news,
78:2
ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ ٣
over which they disagree.1
78:3
كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٤
But no! They will come to know.
78:4
ثُمَّ كـَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ ٥
Again, no! They will come to know.
78:5
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا ٦
Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,
78:6
وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا ٧
and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs,1
78:7
وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ٨
and created you in pairs,
78:8
وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا ٩
and made your sleep for rest,
78:9
وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا ١٠
and made the night as a cover,
78:10
وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا ١١
and made the day for livelihood,
78:11
وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا ١٢
and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺,
78:12
وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا ١٣
and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp,
78:13
وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا ١٤
and sent down from rainclouds pouring water,
78:14
لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا ١٥
producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants,
78:15
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا ١٦
and dense orchards?
78:16
إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا ١٧
Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time—
78:17
يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ١٨
˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.
78:18
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا ١٩
The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates,
78:19
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ٢٠
and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.
78:20
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا ٢١
Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush
78:21
لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا ٢٢
as a home for the transgressors,
78:22
لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا ٢٣
where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages.
78:23
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا ٢٤
There they will not taste any coolness or drink,
78:24
إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا ٢٥
except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus—
78:25
جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا ٢٦
a fitting reward.
78:26
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا ٢٧
For they never expected any reckoning,
78:27
وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا ٢٨
and totally rejected Our signs.
78:28
وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا ٢٩
And We have everything recorded precisely.
78:29
فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ٣٠
˹So the deniers will be told,˺ “Taste ˹the punishment˺, for all you will get from Us is more torment.”
