This wonderful soora 78 in the Quran

[Torch light]

It is somewhat a short soora

This is the explanation of this great soora 78

Soora 78

(In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)​

1. About what do these [associaters: idolaters] interrogate each other!?

[Then God – be glorified – told about the subject of their interrogation, and said:]
2. about the serious topic!

3. Concerning which they are at variance. a

4. Nay b, they will soon come to know [the truth about that c.]

5. Again nay d; for they will soon come to know [the truth about that e.]
.......................................................................................

3 a The topic about which they are at variance is the ‘sending of souls to the Next Life’ and the resurrection:
some people believe in it and others deny it.

Moreover, those who believe in it vary also concerning it:
some people say: the ‘sending to the Next Life’ will be for souls not for bodies;
while others say: both souls and bodies will be resurrected altogether.

In addition, they differ about spirits:
some admit the existence of spirits,
while others deny that.

Therefore, this is the difference and disagreement of people about the ‘sending to the Next Life’.

While about the Accounting and Judgment: some say: the accounting will directly follow death, while others say: it will be on Doomsday.

4 b This is for deterring those who deny the existence of spirits; which means: It is not like what you imagine that man has no spirit.

4 c Following their death, and they will then see spirits, jinns (or genies), angels, devils and every ethereal creature.

5 d This is a deterring to those who deny the ‘sending of souls to the Next Life’.

5 e When they will go to the world of souls, by means of death, and they will then see the angels who will take their souls out of their bodies, and will see the chastisement with which We promised them, and what else they denied and disbelieved.

9. And made your sleep [for] rest?

10. And made the night [as] a veiling?

11. And made the day [for your] livelihood?

12. And [have We not] constructed above you seven firm [layers of ethereal heavens]?

13. And made [in the space, the sun as] a lamp blazing [with fire and heat?]

14. And sent down from the clouds profuse [rain] water?

15. That We may produce by the [rain water] the grain and the plant.

39. Truly that [day] is the inevitable day; therefore whoso likes [to be at rest and comfort in the Next Life], let him seek for a resort with his Lord [with repentance and righteous acts.])

(40. We warn you, [associaters: idolaters], of an imminent chastisement [following after your death.]

while the disbeliever will say [when he will see the chastisement]: "O would that I were dust.")
