Sura 78: The Event (Al-Naba’)
Number of verses in sura: 40
Order of revelation: 80
[78:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[78:1] What are they questioning?
[78:2] The great event.
[78:3] That is disputed by them.
[78:4] Indeed, they will find out.
[78:5] Most assuredly, they will find out.
[78:6] Did we not make the earth habitable?
[78:7] And the mountains stabilizers?
[78:8] We created you as mates (for one another).
[78:9] We created sleeping so you can rest.
[78:10] We made the night a cover.
[78:11] And the day to seek provisions.
[78:12] We built above you seven universes.
[78:13] We created a bright lamp.
[78:14] We send down from the clouds pouring water.
[78:15] To produce with it grains and plants.
[78:16] And various orchards.
[78:17] The Day of Decision is appointed.
[78:18] The day the horn is blown, and you come in throngs.
[78:19] The heaven will be opened like gates.
[78:20] The mountains will be removed, as if they were a mirage.
[78:21] Gehenna is inevitable.
[78:22] For the transgressors; it will be their abode.
[78:23] They stay in it for ages.
[78:24] They never taste in it coolness, nor a drink.
[78:25] Only an inferno, and bitter food.
[78:26] A just requital.
[78:27] They never expected to be held accountable.
[78:28] And utterly rejected our signs.
[78:29] We counted everything in a record.
[78:30] Suffer the consequences; we will only increase your retribution.
[78:31] The righteous have deserved a reward.
[78:32] Orchards and grapes.
[78:33] Magnificent spouses.
[78:34] Delicious drinks.
[78:35] They will never hear in it any nonsense or lies.
[78:36] A reward from your Lord; a generous recompense.
[78:37] Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. The Most Gracious. No one can abrogate His decisions.
[78:38] The day will come when the Spirit and the angels will stand in a row. None will speak except those permitted by the Most Gracious, and they will utter only what is right.
[78:39] Such is the inevitable day. Whoever wills let him take refuge in his Lord.
[78:40] We have sufficiently warned you about an imminent retribution. That is the day when everyone will examine what his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say, “Oh, I wish I were dust.”

Sura 79: The Snatchers (Al-Naaze`aat)
Number of verses in sura: 46
Order of revelation: 81
[79:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[79:1] The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.
[79:2] And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully.
[79:3] And those floating everywhere.
[79:4] Eagerly racing with one another –
[79:5] to carry out various commands.
[79:6] The day the quake quakes.
[79:7] Followed by the second blow.
[79:8] Certain minds will be terrified.
[79:9] Their eyes will be subdued.
[79:10] They will say, “We have been recreated from the grave!
[79:11] “How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?”
[79:12] They had said, “This is an impossible recurrence.”
[79:13] All it takes is one nudge.
[79:14] Whereupon they get up.
[79:15] Have you known about the history of Moses?
[79:16] His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa.
[79:17] “Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed.”
[79:18] Tell him, “Would you not reform?
[79:19] “Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent.”
[79:20] He then showed him the great miracle.
[79:21] But he disbelieved and rebelled.
[79:22] Then he turned away in a hurry.
[79:23] He summoned and proclaimed.
[79:24] He said, “I am your Lord; most high.”
[79:25] Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life.
[79:26] This is a lesson for the reverent.
[79:27] Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it.
[79:28] He raised its masses, and perfected it.
[79:29] He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.
[79:30] He made the earth egg-shaped.
[79:31] From it, He produced its own water and pasture.
[79:32] He established the mountains.
[79:33] All this to provide life support for you and your animals.
[79:34] Then, when the great blow comes.
[79:35] That is the day when the human will remember everything he did.
[79:36] Hell will be brought into existence.
[79:37] As for the one who transgressed.
[79:38] Who was preoccupied with this life.
[79:39] Hell will be the abode.
[79:40] As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts.
[79:41] Paradise will be the abode.
[79:42] They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place!
[79:43] It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time.
[79:44] Your Lord decides its fate.
[79:45] Your mission is to warn those who expect it.
[79:46] The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day.

Sura 80: He Frowned (`Abasa)
Number of verses in sura: 42
Order of revelation: 24
[80:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[80:1] He (Muhammad) frowned and turned away.
[80:2] When the blind man came to him.
[80:3] How do you know? He may purify himself.
[80:4] Or he may take heed, and benefit from the message.
[80:5] As for the rich man.
[80:6] You gave him your attention.
[80:7] Even though you could not guarantee his salvation.
[80:8] The one who came to you eagerly.
[80:9] And is really reverent.
[80:10] You ignored him.
[80:11] Indeed, this is a reminder.
[80:12] Whoever wills shall take heed.
[80:13] In honorable scriptures.
[80:14] Exalted and pure.
[80:15] (Written) by the hands of messengers.
[80:16] Who are honorable and righteous.
[80:17] Woe to the human being; he is so unappreciative!
[80:18] What did He create him from?
[80:19] From a tiny drop, He creates him and designs him.
[80:20] Then He points out the path for him.
[80:21] Then He puts him to death, and into the grave.
[80:22] When He wills, He resurrects him.
[80:23] He shall uphold His commandments.
[80:24] Let the human consider his food!
[80:25] We pour the water generously.
[80:26] Then we split the soil open.
[80:27] We grow in it grains.
[80:28] Grapes and pasture.
[80:29] Olives and palms.
[80:30] A variety of orchards.
[80:31] Fruits and vegetables.
[80:32] To provide life support for you and your animals.
[80:33] Then, when the blow comes to pass.
[80:34] That is the day when one flees from his brother.
[80:35] From his mother and father.
[80:36] From his spouse and children.
[80:37] Each one of them, on that day, worries about his own destiny.
[80:38] Some faces on that day will be happy.
[80:39] Laughing and joyful.
[80:40] Other faces, on that day, will be covered with misery.
[80:41] Overwhelmed by remorse.
[80:42] These are the wicked disbelievers.

[83:10] Woe on that day to the rejectors.

[83:12] None disbelieves therein except the transgressor, the sinful.
[83:13] When our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Tales from the past!”
[83:14] Indeed, their hearts have become shielded by their sins.
[83:15] Indeed, they will be isolated, on that day, from their Lord.
[83:16] Then they will be thrown into Hell.
[83:17] They will be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
[83:18] Indeed, the book of the righteous will be in `Elleyyeen.
[83:19] Do you know what `Elleyyeen is?
[83:20] A numerically structured book.
[83:21] To be witnessed by those close to Me.

[83:24] You recognize in their faces the joy of bliss.
[83:25] Their drinks will be spiced with nectar.
[83:26] Its spice is like musk. This is what the competitors should compete for.
[83:27] Mixed into it will be special flavors.
[83:28] From a spring that is reserved for those close to Me.
[83:29] The wicked used to laugh at those who believed.
[83:30] When they passed by them, they used to poke fun.
[83:31] When they got together with their people, they used to joke.
[83:32] Whenever they saw them, they said, “These people are far astray!
[83:33] “They have no such thing as (invisible) guards.”
[83:34] Today, those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers.
[83:35] On luxurious furnishings they watch.
[83:36] Most assuredly, the disbelievers are requited for what they did.
