The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
| Surah 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. ~2. 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,
[78.19] 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! |
