Surah 78

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
What are they asking one another about?
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
About the momentous news,
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
over which they disagree.1
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
But no! They will come to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Again, no! They will come to know.
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا
Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs,1
وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
and created you in pairs,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
and made your sleep for rest,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
and made the night as a cover,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
and made the day for livelihood,
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
and sent down from rainclouds pouring water,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants,
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
and dense orchards?
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَـٰتًا
Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time—
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates,
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.
