Chapter 78 - "The Great Event"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

78.1: Of what do they ask one another?

78.2: About the great event,

78.3: About which they differ?

78.4: Nay! they shall soon come to know

78.5: Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

78.6: Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

78.7: And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

78.8: And We created you in pairs,

78.9: And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),

78.10: And We made the night to be a covering,

78.11: And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

78.12 And We made above you seven strong ones,

78.13: And We made a shining lamp,

78.14: And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

78.15: That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

78.16: And gardens dense and luxuriant.

78.17: Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:

78.18: The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you.shall come forth in hosts, 19 And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

78.20: And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

78.21: Surely hell lies in wait,

78.22: A place of resort for the inordinate,

78.23: Living therein for ages.

78.24: They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

78.25: But boiling and intensely cold water,

78.26: Requital corresponding.

78.27: Surely they feared not the account,

78.28: And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

78.29: And We have recorded everything in a book,

78.30: So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.

78.31: Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,

78.32: Gardens and vineyards,

78.33: And those showing freshness of youth, equals in age,

78.34: And a pure cup.

78.35: They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.

78.36: A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

78.37: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent God, they shall not be able to address Him.

78.38: The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent God permits and who speaks the right thing.

78.39: That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

78.40: Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
