Asad, Surah 78: The Announcement (An-Naba)

Surahs

[1] ABOUT WHAT do they [most often] ask one another?

[2] About the awesome tiding [of resurrection],

[3] on which they [so utterly] disagree.

[4] Nay, but in time they will come to understand [it]!

[5] And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand!

[6] HAVE WE NOT made the earth a resting-place [for you],

[7] and the mountains [its] pegs?

[8] And We have created you in pairs;

[9] and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death

[10] and made the night [its] cloak

[11] and made the day [a symbol of] life.

[12] And We have built above you seven firmaments,

[13] and have placed [therein the sun,] a lamp full of blazing splendour.

[14] And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance,

[15] so that We might bring forth thereby grain, and herbs,

[16] and gardens dense with follage.

[17] VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time:

[18] the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes;

[19] and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates;

[20] and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage.

[21] [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] –

[22] a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right!

[23] In it shall they remain for a long time.

[24] Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink –

[25] only burning despair and ice-cold darkness:

[26] a meet requital [for their sins]!

[27] Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account,

[28] having given the lie to Our messages one and all:

[29] but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did].

[30] [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!"

[31] [But,] verily for the God-conscious there is supreme fulfilment in store:

[32] luxuriant gardens and vinyards,

[33] and splendid companions well matched,

[34] and a cup [of happiness] overflowing.

[35] No empty talk will they hear in that [paradise], nor any lie.

[36] [All this will be] a reward from thy Sustainer, a gift in accordance with [His Own] reckoning –

[37] [a reward from] the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Most Gracious! [And] none shall have it in their power to raise their voices unto Him

[38] on the Day when all [human] souls and all the angels will stand up in ranks: none will speak but he to whom the Most Gracious will have given leave; and [everyone] will say [only] what is right.

[39] That will be the Day of Ultimate Truth: whoever wills, then, let him take the path that leads towards his Sustainer!

[40] Verily, We have warned you of suffering near at hand - [suffering] on the Day when man shall [clearly] see what his hands have sent ahead, and when he who has denied the truth shall say, "Oh, would that I were mere dust...!"
