Concerning what\n Are they disputing?\n2. Concerning the Great News,\n3. About which they\n Cannot agree.\n4. Verily, they shall soon\n (Come to) know!\n5. Verily, verily they shall\n Soon (come to) know!\n6. Have We not made\n The earth as a wide\n Expanse,\n7. And the mountains as pegs?\n8. And (have We not) created\n You in pairs,\n9. And made your sleep\n For rest,\n10. And made the night\n As a covering,\n11. And made the day\n As a means of subsistence?\n12. And (have We not)\n Built over you\n The seven firmaments,\n13. And placed (therein)\n A Light of Splendour?\n14. And do We not send down\n From the clouds water\n In abundance,\n15. That We may produce\n Therewith corn and vegetables,\n16. And gardens of luxurious growth?\n17. Verily the Day\n Of Sorting Out\n Is a thing appointed,\u2014\n18. The Day that the Trumpet\n Shall be sounded, and ye\n Shall come forth in crowds;\n19. And the heavens\n Shall be opened\n As if there were doors,\n20. And the mountains\n Shall vanish, as if\n They were a mirage.\n21. Truly Hell is\n As a place of ambush,\u2014\n22. For the transgressors\n A place of destination:\n23. They will dwell therein\n For ages.\n24. Nothing cool shall they taste\n Therein, nor any drink,\n25. Save a boiling fluid\n And a fluid, dark, murky,\n Intensely cold,\u2014\n26. A fitting recompense\n (For them).\n27. For that they used not\n To fear any account\n (For their deeds),\n28. But they (impudently) treated\n Our Signs as false.\n29. And all things have We\n Preserved on record.\n30. \"So taste ye (the fruits\n Of your deeds);\n For no increase\n Shall We grant you,\n Except in Punishment.\n31. Verily for the Righteous\n There will be\n A fulfilment of\n (The Heart's) desires;\n32. Gardens enclosed, and Grapevines;\n33. Companions of Equal age;\n34. And a Cup full\n (To the brim).\n35. No Vanity shall they hear\n Therein, nor Untruth;\u2014\n36. Recompense from thy Lord,\n A Gift, (amply) sufficient,\u2014\n37. (From the Lord\n Of the heavens\n And the earth, and all between,\u2014\n (God) Most Gracious:\n None shall have power\n To argue with Him.\n38. The Day that\n The Spirit and the angels\n Will stand forth in ranks,\n None shall speak\n Except any who is\n Permitted by (God) Most Gracious,\n And he will say\n What is right.\n39. that day will be\n The sure Reality:\n Therefore, whoso will let him\n Take a (straight) Return\n To his Lord!\n40. Verily, we have warned you\n Of a Penalty near,\u2014\n The Day when man will\n See (the Deeds) which\n His hands have sent forth,\n And the Unbeliever will say,\n \"Woe unto me! Would that\n I were mere dust!\"","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra LXXVIII. Nabaa, or The (Great) ...","type":"page"}
