Qur’anic Verses for Reading and Memorisation (Chapter 78: 26-30)

The following are verses 26-30 of Suratul Naba’i:

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا (26)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا (27)
وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا (28)
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا (29)
فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا (30)

• Verse 28: “And they denied Our signs with a strong denial.” (They rejected the signs of Allah, including His messengers, books, and creation.)
• Verse 29: “But all things We have recorded in a book.” (Every action, big or small, is recorded by Allah and will be presented on the Day of Judgment.)
• Verse 30: “So taste you, for We will not increase you except in torment.” (This is a severe warning to the disbelievers that their punishment in Hellfire will be continuous and will only intensify.)
