Quran 78:27 Knowingly Denying The Truth?
Please read verses 78:17-78:40 in order to understand what is being said in it’s context. They did not expect any recompose because they were bent on denying the truth and giving lies to God’s message. Quran 78:17-40 Translation by Asad VERILY, the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false] has indeed its appointed time: the Day when the trumpet [of resurrection] is sounded and you all come forward in multitudes; and when the skies are opened and become [as wide-flung] gates; and when the mountains are made to vanish as if they had been a mirage. [On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] – a goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right! In it shall they remain for a long time. Neither coolness shall they taste therein nor any [thirst-quenching] drink – only burning despair and ice-cold darkness: a meet requital [for their sins]! Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, having given the lie to Our messages one and all: but We have placed on record every single thing [of what they did] . [And so We shall say:] “Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!” [But,] verily for the God-conscious there is supreme fulfilment in store: luxuriant gardens and vinyards, and splendid companions well matched, and a cup [of happiness] overflowing. No empty talk will they hear in that [paradise], nor any lie . [All this will be] a reward from thy Sustainer, a gift in accordance with [His Own] reckoning – [a reward from] the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Most Gracious! [And] none shall have it in their power to raise their voices unto Him on the Day when all [human] souls and all the angels will stand up in ranks: none will speak but he to whom the Most Gracious will have given leave; and [everyone] will say [only] what is right. That will be the Day of Ultimate Truth: whoever wills, then, let him take the path that leads towards his Sustainer ! Verily, We have warned you of suffering near at hand – [suffering] 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 mere dust!”
