52:1  The Mount acts as a witness

52:2  (The) Book written in straight lines acts as a witness

52:3  on wide pieces of parchment-paper

52:4  ‘Always being visited’ House (The Kaba) acts as a witness

52:5  The elevated roof (as Heaven) acts as a witness

52:6  The sea in high tides acts as a witness

52:7  Surely, the torment coming from your Nourisher-Sustainer is about to occur without any doubt

52:8  (There is) not unto it any who can avert

52:9  The Day the heaven trembles in a dreadful shahead of state

52:10  and the mountains slide away in a swift movement

52:11  Then woe that Day for the deniers —

52:12  those: they sport and play in senseless items

52:13  The Day they are pushed down to the Fire of Hell, pushing down with full force

52:14  This is the Fire which you used to deny

52:15  Is this then magic ? Or you people do not see (the reality)

52:16  Slide you therein. Then (whether) you show patience or you do not show patience — (it is the) same to you. Surely what (is a fact is that) you will be rewarded what you had been doing

52:17  Verily, the Muttaqun will be in Gardens and Bliss

52:18  as those who enjoy with what their Nourisher-Sustainer has provided them; and their Nourisher-Sustainer has saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire

52:19  Eat and drink Haniyan (in full happiness) because of what you used to do (in your worldly life) —

52:20  recliners on couches arranged in rows; and We provided them the company of Hurin Eenin

52:21  And those who have Believed and whose offspring followed them with Faith We did join to these their offspring; and We did not nullify from their deed any thing. Every individual, for what he has earned (in his worldly life,is) mortgaged

52:22  And We provided them assistance in (getting) fruits and meat, such as they desire

52:23  Therein they shall toast the cup (showing their attachment to one another); there shall be no Laghw [dirty, bad or intoxicating (-effect thereof)] therein; and nor Tasim (a sinful act)

52:24  And there will move all around them youthful boys reserved for them — as if they are pearls guarded and preserved

52:25  And some of them came directly in front of some others; they would question one another

52:26  They said: “Verily, we used to be, aforetime, among our family-members and followers as those who were always conscious of the position (of Allah)

52:27  So Allah showered grace on us, and He saved us from the torment of an extremely hot atmosphere

52:28  Verily we, we used to call Him aforetime (in our needs and in our regular Prayers). Surely He: He is Al-Barr (The Most Generous, The Most Kind), the continuously Merciful

52:29  So propagate the Message. So, by the Grace of your Nourisher-Sustainer you are not a clairvoyant, and nor a fanatic

52:30  Or do they say: “ Is he a poet? We await doubt and suspicion which people will have about the Divine‘good and grace’ (which some relate to his person).”

52:31  Say: “Wait. Then surely I am with you being out of those who await.”

52:32  Do their delusions command them for this, or they are a nation of those who exceed the bounds

52:33  Or do they say: “He (who is propagating the Book) has (himself) uttered it (i.e., he himself is its producer and author)?” Nay, they (actually) develop not Faith (in Allah’s Book)

52:34  Let them then come with Hadees like unto it if they happened to be those who speak the truth

52:35  Have they been created out of nothing, or they themselves (are) the creators

52:36  Or have they created the heavens and the earth? Nay! They develop not the certainty in Faith

52:37  Or, are with them treasures of your Nourisher-Sustainer, or are they the keepers (controllers thereof)

52:38  Or, for them is a receiver they listen to therein (the secret signals of the heavenly administration)? Then let their listener approach with evident power

52:39  Or, for Him the daughters and for you the sons

52:40  Do you ask them for a reward, so they with a load of debt are burdened people

52:41  Or, with them (under their surveilance is) Al-ghaib (the unseen), so they record it down

52:42  Or, they intend a plan? Rather those who have disbelieved: they (themselves are) those who are encircled and caught in a stratagem

52:43  Or, for them is an ilah other than Allah? Be Allah glorified against what they ascribe as partners (to Him)

52:44  And if they watch a piece as one falling down from towards the sky, they will say: “Clouds, piled-up!”

52:45  So leave them till they meet their Day — that (one) wherein they will be over-taken by a thunder bolt

52:46  (That) Day their plotting does not benefit them at all, and nor they will be helped

52:47  And verily, for those who have transgressed (awaits) a torment additional to this; but the majority of them do not know

52:48  So show steadfastness for the Ordainment of your Nourisher-Sustainer. So verily, you are under (protection of) Our Eyes. And glorify with the Praise of your Nourisher-Sustainer when you stand up (for offering or leading a Prayer)

52:49  And out (of the hours) of the night, do glorify Him and (at the) retreat of the stars. [This is a recommendation for Isha and Fajr Prayers]
