Have We not made the earth an expanse,
An-Naba 78:7
وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا

An-Naba 78:16
وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
An-Naba 78:20
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

They will abide therein for ages.
An-Naba 78:24

Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink
An-Naba 78:25
إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا
Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:
An-Naba 78:26
جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا
Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).
An-Naba 78:27
إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا

They called Our revelations false with strong denial.

Lo! for the duteous is achievement -
An-Naba 78:32
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا
Gardens enclosed and vineyards,
An-Naba 78:33

And voluptuous women of equal age;
An-Naba 78:34
وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا

An-Naba 78:35
لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّـٰبٗا
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -
An-Naba 78:36
جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -
An-Naba 78:37
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.
An-Naba 78:38
يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا
On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
An-Naba 78:39
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.
An-Naba 78:40
إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا
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!"
