Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

as rendered by Shakir — 40 verses

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
78:12
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 Allah, 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 Allah 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
