Surah “The Tidings, The Announcement”

as rendered by A.L. Bilal Muhammad et al (2018) — 40 verses

78:1
Concerning what they are disputing
78:2
Concerning the great announcement
78:3
About which they cannot agree
78:4
Indeed they will soon come to know
78:5
Again, indeed they will soon come to know
78:6
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse
78:7
And the mountains as pegs
78:8
And created you mates
78:9
And made your sleep for rest
78:10
And made the night as a covering
78:11
And made the day as a means of subsistence
78:12
And built over you the seven firmaments
78:13
And placed a light of splendor
78:14
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance
78:15
That We may produce with it grains and vegetables
78:16
And gardens of luxurious growth
78:17
Indeed the day of sorting out is a thing appointed
78:18
The day the trumpet will be sounded, and you will come forth in crowds
78:19
And the heavens will be opened as if there were doors
78:20
And the mountains will vanish, as if they were a mirage
78:21
Truly hell is a place of ambush
78:22
For the transgressors a place of destination
78:23
They will dwell therein for ages
78:24
Nothing cool will they taste therein, nor any drink
78:25
Except a boiling fluid, and a fluid dark, murky, intensely cold
78:26
A fitting reward
78:27
Because they feared not any account for their deeds
78:28
And they treated Our signs as false
78:29
All things have We preserved on record
78:30
So taste this, for no increase will We grant you, except in punishment
78:31
Indeed for the righteous there will be a fulfillment of their desires
78:32
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines
78:33
Companions of equal age
78:34
And a cup, full
78:35
No vanity will they hear therein, nor lies
78:36
Reward from your Lord, a gift sufficient
78:37
From the Guardian Evolver of the heavens and the earth, and all between. God, the Merciful Benefactor, none will have power to argue with Him
78:38
The day the Spirit and the Angels will stand forth in ranks. None will speak except those permitted by God, the Merciful Benefactor, and he will say what is true
78:39
That day will be the true reality. Therefore, whoever wills, let him anticipate the return to his Lord
78:40
Indeed, We have warned you of a penalty near, the day when humanity will see that which their hands have sent forth, and the unbeliever will say, “Oh my God, I wish that I were mere dust.
