Al Naba Surah Introduction

The Quran’s seventy-eigth surah (An Naba). It consists of forty ayat, or verses in Quran pak. Moreover, It is also known as “The Announcement” or “The Tidings” in Arabic (النبأ, an-nabaʼ). 

The worldly creation—the earth, plants, peace at night, mountains, and rain—is celebrated in the first twenty verses. The last twenty verses, on the other hand, are devoted to the everlasting wonders and horrors of the hereafter, depicting the punishment of the angry sinner (the Arabic triliteral root TGY “taagheena”) in stark contrast to the reward of obedient believers in paradise. TGY uses the Arabic triliteral root WQY, which means “muttaqeena,” as a lyrical parataxis. (Reference)

Themes of An Naba Surah

1. Allah’s creative power is manifested in the universe as divine power.
2. Resurrection: A symbol of accountability and the Day of Judgment.
3. Encourages introspection and contemplation of Allah’s signs in the natural world and oneself.
4. Caution: Be wary of disbelief and its ramifications in the Hereafter.

اَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ الۡاَرۡضَ مِهٰدًاۙ‏ (۶)

Have We not smoothed out the earth ˹like a bed˺,

وَّالۡجِبَالَ اَوۡتَادًا ۙ‏ (۷)

اور پہاڑوں کو (ا س کی) میخیں (نہیں ٹھہرایا؟) (۷)

and ˹made˺ the mountains as ˹its˺ pegs,1

وَّخَلَقۡنٰكُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًاۙ‏ (۸)

(بے شک بنایا) اور تم کو جوڑا جوڑابھی پیدا کیا (۸)

nd created you in pairs,

وَّجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتًاۙ‏ (۹)

وَّبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعًا شِدَادًاۙ‏ (۱۲)

اور تمہارے اوپر سات مضبوط (آسمان) بنائے (۱۲)

and built above you seven mighty ˹heavens˺,

وَّ جَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجًا وَّهَّاجًا ۙ‏ (۱۳)

اور (آفتاب کا) روشن چراغ بنایا (۱۳)

and placed ˹in them˺ a shining lamp,

وَّاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمُعۡصِرٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًاۙ‏ (۱۴)

اور نچڑتے بادلوں سے موسلا دھار مینہ برسایا (۱۴)

producing by it grain and ˹various˺ plants,

وَّجَنّٰتٍ اَلۡفَافًاؕ‏ (۱۶)

اور گھنے گھنے باغ (۱۶)

جس دن صور پھونکا جائے گا تو تم لوگ غٹ کے غٹ آ موجود ہو گے (۱۸)

˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds.

وَّفُتِحَتِ السَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ اَبۡوَابًاۙ‏ (۱۹)

اور آسمان کھولا جائے گا تو (اس میں) دروازے ہو جائیں گے (۱۹)

The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates,

وَّ سُيِّرَتِ الۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًاؕ‏ (۲۰)

اور پہاڑ چلائے جائیں گے تو وہ ریت ہو کر رہ جائیں گے (۲۰)

and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage.

اِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادًا ۙ‏ (۲۱)

بےشک دوزخ گھات میں ہے (۲۱)

Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush

لِّلطّٰغِيۡنَ مَاٰبًاۙ‏ (۲۲)

(یعنی) سرکشوں کا وہی ٹھکانہ ہے (۲۲)

as a home for the transgressors,

لّٰبِثِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَحۡقَابًا‌ۚ‏ (۲۳)

اس میں وہ مدتوں پڑے رہیں گے (۲۳)

where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages.

لَا يَذُوۡقُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا بَرۡدًا وَّلَا شَرَابًاۙ‏ (۲۴)

وہاں نہ ٹھنڈک کا مزہ چکھیں گے۔ نہ (کچھ) پینا (نصیب ہو گا) (۲۴)

There they will not taste any coolness or drink,

اِلَّا حَمِيۡمًا وَّغَسَّاقًاۙ‏ (۲۵)

مگر گرم پانی اور بہتی پیپ (۲۵)

except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus—

جَزَآءً وِّفَاقًاؕ‏ (۲۶)

a fitting reward.

اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا لَا يَرۡجُوۡنَ حِسَابًاۙ‏ (۲۷)

یہ لوگ حساب (آخرت) کی امید ہی نہیں رکھتے تھے (۲۷)

For they never expected any reckoning,

وَّكَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كِذَّابًاؕ‏ (۲۸)

اور ہماری آیتوں کو جھوٹ سمجھ کر جھٹلاتے رہتے تھے (۲۸)

and totally rejected Our signs.

وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ اَحۡصَيۡنٰهُ كِتٰبًاۙ‏ (۲۹)

اور ہم نے ہر چیز کو لکھ کر ضبط کر رکھا ہے (۲۹)

And We have everything recorded precisely.

فَذُوۡقُوۡا فَلَنۡ نَّزِيۡدَكُمۡ اِلَّا عَذَابًا‏ (۳۰)

سو (اب) مزہ چکھو۔ ہم تم پر عذاب ہی بڑھاتے جائیں گے (۳۰)

˹So the deniers will be told,˺ “Taste ˹the punishment˺, for all you will get from Us is more torment.”

اِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ مَفَازًاۙ‏ (۳۱)

بے شک پرہیز گاروں کے لیے کامیابی ہے (۳۱)

Indeed, the righteous will have salvation—

حَدَآٮِٕقَ وَاَعۡنَابًاۙ‏ (۳۲)

(یعنی) باغ اور انگور (۳۲)

Gardens, vineyards,

وَّكَوَاعِبَ اَتۡرَابًاۙ‏ (۳۳)

اور ہم عمر نوجوان عورتیں (۳۳)

and full-bosomed maidens of equal age,

وَّكَاۡسًا دِهَاقًاؕ‏ (۳۴)

اور شراب کے چھلکتے ہوئے گلاس (۳۴)

and full cups ˹of pure wine˺,

لَّا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا لَـغۡوًا وَّلَا كِذّٰبًا‌ۚ‏ (۳۵)

وہاں نہ بیہودہ بات سنیں گے نہ جھوٹ (خرافات) (۳۵)

never to hear any idle talk or lying therein—

جَزَآءً مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًاۙ‏ (۳۶)

یہ تمہارے پروردگار کی طرف سے صلہ ہے انعام کثیر (۳۶)

a ˹fitting˺ reward as a generous gift from your Lord,

رَّبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا الرَّحۡمٰنِ‌ لَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابًا‌ۚ‏ (۳۷)

وہ جو آسمانوں اور زمین اور جو ان دونوں میں ہے سب کا مالک ہے بڑا مہربان کسی کو اس سے بات کرنے کا یارا نہیں ہوگا (۳۷)

the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, the Most Compassionate. No one will dare speak to Him

يَوۡمَ يَقُوۡمُ الرُّوۡحُ وَالۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ صَفًّا   ؕۙ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُوۡنَ اِلَّا مَنۡ اَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحۡمٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا‌‏ (۳۸)

جس دن روح (الامین) اور فرشتے صف باندھ کر کھڑے ہوں گے تو کوئی بول نہ سکے گا مگر جس کو (خدائے رحمٰن) اجازت بخشے اور اس نے بات بھی درست کہی ہو (۳۸)

on the Day the ˹holy˺ spirit1 and the angels will stand in ranks. None will talk, except those granted permission by the Most Compassionate and whose words are true.

ذٰلِكَ الۡيَوۡمُ الۡحَـقُّ‌ ۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ مَاٰبًا‏ (۳۹)

یہ دن برحق ہے۔ پس جو شخص چاہے اپنے پروردگار کے پاس ٹھکانہ بنا ئے (۳۹)

That Day is the ˹ultimate˺ truth. So let whoever wills take the path leading back to their Lord.

(۴۰) اِنَّاۤ اَنۡذَرۡنٰـكُمۡ عَذَابًا قَرِيۡبًا    ۖۚ يَّوۡمَ يَنۡظُرُ الۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدٰهُ وَيَقُوۡلُ الۡـكٰفِرُ يٰلَيۡتَنِىۡ كُنۡتُ تُرٰبًا‏ 

ہم نے تم کو عذاب سے جو عنقریب آنے والا ہے آگاہ کر دیا ہے جس دن ہر شخص ان (اعمال) کو جو اس نے آگے بھیجے ہوں گے دیکھ لے گا اور کافر کہے گا کہ اے کاش میں مٹی ہوتا (۴۰)

Indeed, We have warned you of an imminent punishment—the Day every person will see ˹the consequences of˺ what their hands have done, and the disbelievers will cry, “I wish I were dust.”1

Benefits of Surah An Naba

Sleep and Rest in Alignment with Nature

“And made your sleep for rest, and made the night as a cover,” 

is a classic line that you have undoubtedly heard of (78:9–10).

Their source is Surah An-Naba. The Holy Quran explicitly mentions Day and Night in An-Naba, and contemporary science is now more convinced than ever of their significance to humans’ natural sleeping patterns.

Harsh Consequences for the Wrongdoers

“Taste the punishment, for all you will receive from Us is more torment,” 

is what Allah says will be told to the deniers. (Surat 78:30). 

This passage refutes the assertion that the inmates of Hell receive perpetual torment upon their death.

Deepen Spiritual Awareness

It accomplishes this by using extremely vivid imagery that will leave us with an unforgettable impression of the Hereafter, keeping the reality of the Afterlife and the Day of Judgment at the forefront of our thoughts.

When righteous individuals visualize their reward, for instance, they see gardens, vineyards, maidens, glasses of pure wine, and no frivolous chatter. A life lived to the fullest extent possible.

The Science of Mountain Stabilization

According to 78:7, Allah said, “and made the mountains as its pegs.” 

This suggests that the mountains may have roots as deep into the Earth as twice as high as their height—something that humanity has not found for ages.

Inspiring Self-Reflection

Once more, the detailed description applies to both disbelievers and the rewarded Muslims. I was reading this Surah when not on Allah’s road can cause one to envision horrifying images such as transgressors being swallowed by Hell, going without food or drink, seeing only boiling water and pus flowing!

Reading about such an intentional punishment should provoke introspection and lead to sincere repentance.

Influence on the Prophet

It is one of the Suras that contributed to the aging of the Prophet (peace be upon him): 

I questioned the Prophet (peace be upon him), saying, “What made you grow old?” 

According to Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq. He mentioned the names of Surat Hud, Al-Waqi’a, Al-Mursalat, ‘Amma Yatasa’aloon (An-Naba’), and Idha al-Shamsu Kuwwirat (Al-Takwir).
