The Tidings (Al-Naba’)
Verses 31-40 GROUP_1555 78.31-40
31
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا
As for those who are mindful of God, they shall surely triumph:
32
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا
theirs shall be gardens and vineyards,
33
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا
and young maidens of equal age,
34
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
and overflowing cups.
35
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا
There they shall not hear any idle talk, or any untruth:
36
جَزَاء مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاء حِسَابًا
all this will be a recompense, a gift, that will suffice them, from your Lord,
37
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرحْمَنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا
the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, the most Gracious [and] none shall have it in their power to raise their voices to Him.
38
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
On the Day when the Spirit and the angels stand in ranks, no one will speak, except for those to whom the Lord of Mercy gives permission, and who will say only what is right.
39
ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَن شَاء اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مَآبًا
That Day is sure to come, so whoever wishes to, let him take the path that leads towards his Lord.
40
إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا
We have warned you of a chastisement which is near at hand, on the Day when man shall [clearly] see what his hands have sent ahead, and when he who has denied the truth shall say, ‘Oh, would that I were dust!’
