| | Amatul Rahman Omar rendition of Surah The Tidings, The Announcement(an-Naba`)
--- |
|---|
| 78:1 | | What is that these (disbelievers) are asking one another about |
| 78:2 | | (Is it) about the greatly important and very useful announcement leading to knowledge |
| 78:3 | | About which they differ (from the Muslims and among themselves) |
| 78:4 | | It is not as they assume. They shall surely know (the truth thereof) |
| 78:5 | | (We say it) again, the real thing is not as they believe. They shall surely come to know (the truth thereof) |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth as a bed |
| 78:7 | | And the mountains as (a series of) pegs |
| 78:8 | | And We have created you in pairs (males and females) |
| 78:9 | | And We have made your sleep a source of rest |
| 78:10 | | And We have made the night as a covering |
| 78:11 | | And We have made the day for the (various) pursuits of life |
| 78:12 | | And We have built above you seven strong (heavenly bodies of the solar system) |
| 78:13 | | And We have made (therein) the sun providing immense light and heat from a long distance |
| 78:14 | | And We pour down from the dripping clouds water in torrent |
| 78:15 | | That We may bring forth therewith (all kinds of) grain and vegetation |
| 78:16 | | And (grow with it) gardens thick and luxuriant |
| 78:17 | | Surely, the Day of Judgment is an appointed time |
| 78:18 | | The day when the trumpet will be blown, and you will come in large troopes |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven shall be flung open and it shall become (all) doors |
| 78:20 | | And the mountains shall be wiped out and shall become (as if reduced to) plains of sand |
| 78:21 | | Surely, only Gehenna shall be in wait (for those who deny the truth) |
| 78:22 | | A (nursing) home for the rebellious |
| 78:23 | | There they shall be staying for ages (till all their maladies are completely treated) |
| 78:24 | | There they shall find no (comfort of) coolness, nor drink |
| 78:25 | | All that they shall have will be boiling water or stinking fluid as a recompense |
| 78:26 | | A befitting recompense (for the evils done by them) |
| 78:27 | | They did not fear any reckoning at all |
| 78:28 | | And they had belied Our Messages outright |
| 78:29 | | And everything (of their deeds) We have fully recorded in a book (of deeds) |
| 78:30 | | (It shall be said to them when they are about to be punished,) `Suffer therefore (the consequences of your evil deeds), We will do no more than increase your torment |
| 78:31 | | As for those who guarded against evil there awaits them a triumph |
| 78:32 | | Orchards and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And (blooming) young maidens suiting their age, and also matching in all other respects |
| 78:34 | | And overflowing cups of pure and clean drink |
| 78:35 | | Therein they will hear no vain discourse, no (topics based on) falsehood |
| 78:36 | | (It will be said to each, `All this is) bestowed (on you) by your Lord, (both) by way of gift, (and) by reckoning. |
| 78:37 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that lies between them, the Most Gracious (God), Whom they dare not address |
| 78:38 | | (All this will be) on the Day (of Resurrection) when the Perfect Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, none shall speak except he (- Muhammad) to whom the Most Gracious (God) will grant permission and who will speak (only) what is right |
| 78:39 | | That day is bound to come, so let him, who will, seek recourse to his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Verily, We have warned you of a punishment which is close at hand, a day when a person shall see what (good or evil deeds) he has sent on before (for the next life), and the disbeliever will say, `Would that I were mere dust. |
