Sorah An-Naba' ( The Great News ) - Verses Number 40

عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ( 1 )

Concerning what are they disputing?

عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ ( 2 )

Concerning the Great News,

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ( 3 )

About which they cannot agree.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ( 4 )

Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ( 5 )

Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا ( 6 )

Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ( 7 )

And the mountains as pegs?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ( 8 )

And (have We not) created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ( 9 )

And made your sleep for rest,

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ( 10 )

And made the night as a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا ( 11 )

And made the day as a means of subsistence?

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ( 12 )

And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا ( 13 )

And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا ( 14 )

And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا ( 15 )

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,

وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا ( 16 )

And gardens of luxurious growth?

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا ( 17 )

Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا ( 18 )

The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;

وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا ( 19 )

And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ( 20 )

And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ( 21 )

Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,

لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا ( 22 )

For the transgressors a place of destination:

لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا ( 23 )

They will dwell therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا ( 24 )

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ( 25 )

Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,

جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ( 26 )

A fitting recompense (for them).

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا ( 27 )

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا ( 28 )

But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا ( 29 )

And all things have We preserved on record.

فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ( 30 )

"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ( 31 )

Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;

حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا ( 32 )

Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا ( 33 )

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا ( 34 )

And a cup full (to the brim).

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا ( 35 )

No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-

جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا ( 36 )

Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,

رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا ( 37 )

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ( 38 )

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.

ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ( 39 )

That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا ( 40 )

Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"

Farewell Advice of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)In recent times, many sincere Muslims have looked to ascertain the situation of our Nation, and what they see were the effects of the Devil (Shaytan), the blackness of wicked deeds, and the blood of many wounds. They saw discord, disagreement, disunity, confusion, and anxiety. They perceived the evil results of not ruling according to Allah's Book - in the home, the streets, or the marketplace. They saw these results in schools, universities, books, newspapers, and the media; in fact, they even witnessed them in the best places, mosques, where innovations now flourish. And they have also seen the effects of that evil among the ranks of callers to Islam and students of knowledge.

The Book Of ImaanThe source of all evil is the deviation from the truth and its straight path. The goodness of all matters is the following of truth and adherence to its right way. Truth is the fixed state in which Allah has created every creature in a particular way and managed its affair in a certain manner. Allah is Perfect and exempt from any deficiency or error. This book aims to elucidate the pillars of Imaan (basis of belief, faith) and the characteristics of Kufr (disbelief) and its causes.
