Sura 78: AN-NABA (THE TIDINGS)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۱﴾
Of what do they ask one another? (1)
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۲﴾
About the great event, (2)
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿۳﴾
About which they differ? (3)
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴﴾
Nay! they shall soon come to know (4)
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۵﴾
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know (5)
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا ﴿۶﴾
Have We not made the earth an even expanse? (6)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ﴿۷﴾
And the mountains as projections (thereon)? (7)
وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ﴿۸﴾
And We created you in pairs, (8)
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ﴿۹﴾
And We made your sleep to be rest (to you), (9)
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ﴿۱۰﴾
And We made the night to be a covering, (10)
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا ﴿۱۱﴾
And We made the day for seeking livelihood (11)
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ﴿۱۲﴾
And We made above you seven strong ones, (12)
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا ﴿۱۳﴾
And We made a shining lamp, (13)
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا ﴿۱۴﴾
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly, (14)
لِنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا ﴿۱۵﴾
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs, (15)
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿۱۶﴾
And gardens dense and luxuriant (16)
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا ﴿۱۷﴾
Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed: (17)
يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا ﴿۱۸﴾
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts, (18)
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا ﴿۱۹﴾
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings, (19)
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿۲۰﴾
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance (20)
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ﴿۲۱﴾
Surely hell lies in wait, (21)
لِلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا ﴿۲۲﴾
A place of resort for the inordinate, (22)
لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا ﴿۲۳﴾
Living therein for ages (23)
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿۲۴﴾
They shall not taste therein cool nor drink (24)
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ﴿۲۵﴾
But boiling and intensely cold water, (25)
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ﴿۲۶﴾
Requital corresponding (26)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا ﴿۲۷﴾
Surely they feared not the account, (27)
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۲۸﴾
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth) (28)
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا ﴿۲۹﴾
And We have recorded everything in a book, (29)
فَذُوقُوا فَلَنْ نَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿۳۰﴾
So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement (30)
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿۳۱﴾
Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement, (31)
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا ﴿۳۲﴾
Gardens and vineyards, (32)
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا ﴿۳۳﴾
And voluptuous women of equal age; (33)
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا ﴿۳۴﴾
And a pure cup (34)
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۳۵﴾
They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying (35)
جَزَاءً مِنْ رَبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا ﴿۳۶﴾
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning: (36)
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا ﴿۳۷﴾
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him (37)
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ﴿۳۸﴾
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 (38)
ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ﴿۳۹﴾
That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord (39)
إِنَّا أَنْذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ تُرَابًا ﴿۴۰﴾
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! (40)
Sura 79: AN-NAZIAT (THOSE WHO DRAG FORTH)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا ﴿۱﴾
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked, (1)
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا ﴿۲﴾
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed, (2)
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا ﴿۳﴾
And by those who float in space, (3)
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا ﴿۴﴾
Then those who are foremost going ahead, (4)
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا ﴿۵﴾
Then those who regulate the affair (5)
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿۶﴾
The day on which the quaking one shall quake, (6)
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ﴿۷﴾
What must happen afterwards shall follow it (7)
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿۸﴾
Hearts on that day shall palpitate, (8)
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ﴿۹﴾
Their eyes cast down (9)
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ ﴿۱۰﴾
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state? (10)
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَخِرَةً ﴿۱۱﴾
What! when we are rotten bones? (11)
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ﴿۱۲﴾
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss (12)
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ﴿۱۳﴾
But it shall be only a single cry, (13)
فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿۱۴﴾
When lo! they shall be wakeful (14)
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى ﴿۱۵﴾
Has not there come to you the story of Musa? (15)
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿۱۶﴾
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice, (16)
اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى ﴿۱۷﴾
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate (17)
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَزَكَّى ﴿۱۸﴾
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself: (18)
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى ﴿۱۹﴾
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear (19)
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۲۰﴾
So he showed him the mighty sign (20)
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى ﴿۲۱﴾
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed (21)
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى ﴿۲۲﴾
Then he went back hastily (22)
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى ﴿۲۳﴾
Then he gathered (men) and called out (23)
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى ﴿۲۴﴾
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high (24)
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى ﴿۲۵﴾
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life (25)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى ﴿۲۶﴾
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears (26)
أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا ﴿۲۷﴾
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it (27)
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ﴿۲۸﴾
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state (28)
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۲۹﴾
And He made dark its night and brought out its light (29)
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا ﴿۳۰﴾
And the earth, He expanded it after that (30)
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا ﴿۳۱﴾
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage (31)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا ﴿۳۲﴾
And the mountains, He made them firm, (32)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۳﴾
A provision for you and for your cattle (33)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۳۴﴾
But when the great predominating calamity comes; (34)
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَى ﴿۳۵﴾
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after, (35)
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَى ﴿۳۶﴾
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees (36)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَى ﴿۳۷﴾
Then as for him who is inordinate, (37)
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ﴿۳۸﴾
And prefers the life of this world, (38)
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۳۹﴾
Then surely the hell, that is the abode (39)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ﴿۴۰﴾
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires, (40)
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۴۱﴾
Then surely the garden-- that is the abode (41)
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا ﴿۴۲﴾
They ask you about the hour, when it will come (42)
فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا ﴿۴۳﴾
About what! You are one to remind of it (43)
إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا ﴿۴۴﴾
To your Lord is the goal of it (44)
إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَاهَا ﴿۴۵﴾
You are only a warner to him who would fear it (45)
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۴۶﴾
On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it (46)
Sura 80: ABASA (HE FROWNED)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿۱﴾
He frowned and turned (his) back, (1)
أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى ﴿۲﴾
Because there came to him the blind man (2)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى ﴿۳﴾
And what would make you know that he would purify himself, (3)
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى ﴿۴﴾
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? (4)
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى ﴿۵﴾
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), (5)
فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى ﴿۶﴾
To him do you address yourself (6)
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى ﴿۷﴾
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself (7)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَى ﴿۸﴾
And as to him who comes to you striving hard, (8)
وَهُوَ يَخْشَى ﴿۹﴾
And he fears, (9)
فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى ﴿۱۰﴾
From him will you divert yourself (10)
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿۱۱﴾
Nay! surely it is an admonishment (11)
فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ﴿۱۲﴾
So let him who pleases mind it (12)
فِي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
In honored books, (13)
مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍ ﴿۱۴﴾
Exalted, purified, (14)
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
In the hands of scribes (15)
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ﴿۱۶﴾
Noble, virtuous (16)
قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ﴿۱۷﴾
Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! (17)
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ﴿۱۸﴾
Of what thing did He create him? (18)
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ﴿۱۹﴾
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, (19)
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ﴿۲۰﴾
Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) (20)
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ﴿۲۱﴾
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, (21)
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ ﴿۲۲﴾
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again (22)
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ﴿۲۳﴾
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him (23)
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ ﴿۲۴﴾
Then let man look to his food, (24)
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ﴿۲۵﴾
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, (25)
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ﴿۲۶﴾
Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, (26)
فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ﴿۲۷﴾
Then We cause to grow therein the grain, (27)
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ﴿۲۸﴾
And grapes and clover, (28)
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ﴿۲۹﴾
And the olive and the palm, (29)
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ﴿۳۰﴾
And thick gardens, (30)
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ﴿۳۱﴾
And fruits and herbage (31)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۲﴾
A provision for you and for your cattle (32)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ﴿۳۳﴾
But when the deafening cry comes, (33)
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿۳۴﴾
The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, (34)
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿۳۵﴾
And his mother and his father, (35)
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿۳۶﴾
And his spouse and his son-- (36)
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ﴿۳۷﴾
Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him (37)
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ ﴿۳۸﴾
(Many) faces on that day shall be bright, (38)
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ﴿۳۹﴾
Laughing, joyous (39)
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ﴿۴۰﴾
And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, (40)
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿۴۱﴾
Darkness shall cover them (41)
أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ﴿۴۲﴾
These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked (42)

كَلَّا بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ ﴿۱۷﴾
Nay! but you do not honor the orphan, (17)
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ﴿۱۸﴾

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى ﴿۲۳﴾
And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him? (23)
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي ﴿۲۴﴾
He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life! (24)
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿۲۵﴾
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement, (25)
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿۲۶﴾
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding (26)
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ﴿۲۷﴾
O soul that art at rest! (27)
ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً ﴿۲۸﴾
Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him), (28)
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي ﴿۲۹﴾
So enter among My servants, (29)
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي ﴿۳۰﴾
And enter into My garden (30)
