78.0 In The Name Of YHWH: The Almighty, The Merciful.
78:1 What exactly is left to question among them?
78:2 The Good News or the Horrific News?
78:3 Which is it wherein they disagree?
78:4 Nay. Deep down they know and will see!
78:5 Then indeed
they will come to know for certain!
78:6 Yea and have We not made the Earth a resting place
78:7 and the mountains firm stakes with bottoms like pegs
78:8 and Created you in heterosexual pairs
78:9 and made your sleep restful
78:10 and made the night like a blanket
78:11 and the day for Goodly living.
78:12 And did We build above you seven great ones
78:13 and set therein a blazing light
78:14 and sent down cascading rains from clouds
78:15 bringing forth grains and plants
78:16 in luxuriant gardens?
78:17 Yea and the Day of Decision is an appointed time.
78:18 The Day the trumpet is blown and you come in units
78:19 and the sky is opened as gates
78:20 and mountains are set in motion looking as if a mirage.
78:21 Yea it is then that Hell is lying in wait!
78:22 That is the Journeys’ End for the defiant and the fools.
78:23 They will forever long for a final death
78:24 never experiencing shade nor satisfying drink
78:25 only scalding Punishment and liquids of filth
78:26 will be their recompense.
78:27 For they yearned for no accounting
78:28 and they denied Our Proofs defiantly
78:29 but We have their ledgers fully detailed
78:30 so taste it!
And We will increase you in nothing except Punishment.
78:31 But for those of Wise Fear is a place of long sought security
78:32 with fertile gardens and grapevines
78:33 and splendid companions well matched
78:34 your cups overflowing.
78:35 Hearing therein neither vain speech nor lies.
78:36 Yea it is the Reward From thy Lord
a Gift
and a Reckoning.
78:37 Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and Everything in them.
The Almighty
against Whom none can argue.
78:38 The Day the spirit Gabriel and the angels stand in ranks
speaking not
until The Almighty Grants Permission to whom He Wills
to say what is True in bearing witness.
78:39 That is the Day of Unending Truth
and whoever wills well will be well pleased
to see their Lord at their Journeys’ End.
78:40 Hence We warn you of this Punishment drawing near
the Day mankind will look upon what habits they had set in motion before
and the fools will say:
If only I were dust!
