78:0 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

78:1 What are they questioning?

78:2 The great event.

78:3 That is disputed by them.

78:4 Indeed, they will find out.

78:5 Most assuredly, they will find out.

78:6 Did we not make the earth habitable?

78:7 And the mountains stabilizers?

78:8 We created you as mates (for one another).

78:9 We created sleeping so you can rest.

78:10 We made the night a cover.

78:11 And the day to seek provisions.

78:12 We built above you seven universes.

78:13 We created a bright lamp.

78:14 We send down from the clouds pouring water.

78:15 To produce with it grains and plants.

78:16 And various orchards.

78:17 The Day of Decision is appointed.

78:18 The day the horn is blown, and you come in throngs.

78:19 The heaven will be opened like gates.

78:20 The mountains will be removed, as if they were a mirage.

78:21 Gehenna is inevitable.

78:22 For the transgressors; it will be their abode.

78:23 They stay in it for ages.

78:24 They never taste in it coolness, nor a drink.

78:25 Only an inferno, and bitter food.

78:26 A just requital.

78:27 They never expected to be held accountable.

78:28 And utterly rejected our signs.

78:29 We counted everything in a record.

78:30 Suffer the consequences; we will only increase your retribution.

78:31 The righteous have deserved a reward.

78:32 Orchards and grapes.

78:33 Magnificent spouses.

78:34 Delicious drinks.

78:35 They will never hear in it any nonsense or lies.

78:36 A reward from your Lord; a generous recompense.

78:37 Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. The Most Gracious. No one can abrogate His decisions.

78:38 The day will come when the Spirit and the angels will stand in a row. None will speak except those permitted by the Most Gracious, and they will utter only what is right.

78:39 Such is the inevitable day. Whoever wills let him take refuge in his Lord.

78:40 We have sufficiently warned you about an imminent retribution. That is the day when everyone will examine what his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish I were dust."
