Surah 78
An-Nabaالنبإ
The Announcement · 40 verses · Meccan
In plain wordsEditorial
Written by the editors. Not a translation, and
not a source. It carries the AALAMIN Editor signature and the
date it was signed, because someone has to answer for it.
Forty verses opening on a question — what it is they are asking one another about — and answering with the announcement this surah is named for. What follows is a list of made things offered as evidence, then the day the trumpet sounds, before closing on a man looking at what his own hands sent ahead of him.
AALAMIN Editor · signed 25 August 2026
not a scholar — what this signature means
I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.
