78: The Tidings
|
|
| 78:1
Whereof do they question one another ? |
|
| 78:2
(It is) of the awful tidings, |
|
| 78:3
Concerning which they are in disagreement. |
|
| 78:4
Nay, but they will come to know! |
|
| 78:5
Nay, again, but they will come to know! |
|
| 78:6
Have We not made the earth an expanse, |
|
| 78:7
And the high hills bulwarks ? |
|
| 78:8
And We have created you in pairs, |
|
| 78:9
And have appointed your sleep for repose, |
|
| 78:10
And have appointed the night as a cloak, |
|
| 78:11
And have appointed the day for livelihood. |
|
| 78:12
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), |
|
| 78:13
And have appointed a dazzling lamp, |
|
| 78:14
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, |
|
| 78:15
Thereby to produce grain and plant, |
|
| 78:16
And gardens of thick foliage. |
|
| 78:17
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, |
|
| 78:18
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, |
|
| 78:19
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, |
|
| 78:20
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. |
|
| 78:21
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, |
 (78:21-30)
Those who deny the revelations given to Muhammed will burn forever in hell.
Hell in the Quran
|
| 78:22
A home for the rebellious.
|
| 78:23
They will abide therein for ages.
|
| 78:24
Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink |
|
| 78:25
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: |
|
| 78:26
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). |
|
| 78:27
For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; |
|
| 78:28
They called Our revelations false with strong denial. |
|
| 78:29
Everything have We recorded in a Book. |
|
| 78:30
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. |
|
| 78:31
Lo! for the duteous is achievement - |
|
| 78:32
Gardens enclosed and vineyards, |
|
| 78:33
And maidens for companions, |
Those in the Gardens will have maidens for companions.
|
| 78:34
And a full cup.
|
| 78:35
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying - |
|
| 78:36
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment - |
|
| 78:37
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse. |
|
| 78:38
On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right. |
|
| 78:39
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord. |
"Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the
disbeliever will cry: 'Would that I were dust!'"
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
| 78:40
Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the
disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"
