the holy qur'an chapter 78

THE HOLY QUR'AN\

"The Great Event"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"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 God, 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 God 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!
