An-Naba (النبأ)
Surah 78 • 41 Verses • Arabic, English & Kiswahili
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
﴿١﴾
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
﴿٢﴾
What are they asking one another about?
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ
﴿٣﴾
About the great news –
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
﴿٤﴾
That over which they are in disagreement.
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
﴿٥﴾
No! They will come to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
﴿٦﴾
Then, no! They will come to know.
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًۭا
﴿٧﴾
Have We not made the earth a resting place?
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
﴿٨﴾
And the mountains as stakes?
وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا
﴿٩﴾
And We created you in pairs.
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
﴿١٠﴾
And made your sleep [a means for] rest.
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
﴿١١﴾
And made the night as clothing.
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
﴿١٢﴾
And made the day for livelihood.
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
﴿١٣﴾
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens].
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
﴿١٤﴾
And made [therein] a burning lamp.
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا
﴿١٥﴾
And We sent down from the rain clouds pouring water,
لِنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
﴿١٦﴾
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا
﴿١٧﴾
And gardens of entwined growth.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا
﴿١٨﴾
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time –
يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
﴿١٩﴾
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا
﴿٢٠﴾
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
﴿٢١﴾
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا
﴿٢٢﴾
Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
لِلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا
﴿٢٣﴾
For the transgressors, a place of return,
لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا
﴿٢٤﴾
In which they will remain for ages [unending].
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
﴿٢٥﴾
They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا
﴿٢٦﴾
Except scalding water and [foul] purulence –
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا
﴿٢٧﴾
[An] appropriate recompense.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
﴿٢٨﴾
Indeed, they were not expecting an account
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا
﴿٢٩﴾
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا
﴿٣٠﴾
But all things We have enumerated in writing.
فَذُوقُوا فَلَنْ نَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا
﴿٣١﴾
So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment.
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
﴿٣٢﴾
Indeed, for the righteous is attainment –
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا
﴿٣٣﴾
Gardens and grapevines
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
﴿٣٤﴾
And full-breasted companions of equal age
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
﴿٣٥﴾
And a full cup.
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا
﴿٣٦﴾
No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood –
جَزَاءً مِنْ رَبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا
﴿٣٧﴾
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًۭا
﴿٣٨﴾
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful; they have no authority to speak to Him.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّۭا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًۭا
﴿٣٩﴾
The Day the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows; they will not speak except for whom the Most Merciful permits and says what is right.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
﴿٤٠﴾
That is the Day of Truth. So whoever wills may take a return to his Lord.
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًۭا قَرِيبًۭا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
﴿٤١﴾
Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment, the Day when a man will see what his hands have sent ahead, and the disbeliever will say, 'Oh, I wish I were dust!'
