at-Tur (The Mount, The Mountain) at IslamAwakened.com

52:1 By Mount Tûr.

52:2 By a scripture inscribed

52:3 in an unrolled parchment.

52:4 By the frequented House (of God).

52:5 By the raised canopy.

52:6 By the sea flared up with fire—

52:7 the punishment of your^sg Lord is sure to come;

52:8 there is nothing to avert it

52:9 on the day when the sky sways in agitation

52:10 and the mountains go into motion.

52:11 So woe on that day to the disbelievers

52:12 who are indulged in vain talk, playing.

52:13 The day when they are shoved into the Fire of Hell forcefully.

52:14 “This is the Fire in which you^pl used to disbelieve.

52:15 Is this magic, or do you^pl not see?

52:16 Roast in it, and be patient or be impatient—it is the same for you^pl; indeed, you are only being repaid for what you used to do.”

52:17 Indeed, the mindful (of God) are in Gardens and bliss,

52:18 enjoying what their Lord has brought them, and their Lord has shielded them from the punishment of purgatory.

52:19 Eat and drink pleasantly on account of what you^pl used to do.

52:20 Relaxing on luxurious furnishings, and We coupled them with spouses with lovely wide eyes.

52:21 And those who attained faith and whose offspring followed them in faith—We have united them with their offspring, and We have not deprived them of anything of their work; every person is in pledge for what (deeds) he has earned.

52:22 And We have supplied them with fruit and meat such as they desire.

52:23 They exchange therein a cup which does not lead to any idle talk or recrimination.

52:24 And serving them are youths like nestled pearls.

52:25 And they approached one another, inquiring.

52:26 They said, “When we were still with our families we used to live in fear,

52:27 so Allah has conferred favor upon us and has shielded us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

52:28 Indeed, before this we used to pray to Him; indeed, He is the Fulfiller of promises, the Bestower of mercy.”

52:29 So remind, for you^sg are neither a soothsayer nor a madman.

52:30 Or do they say, “A poet for whom we await a calamity of time”?

52:31 Say^sg, “Go on awaiting, for I am with you^pl among those awaiting.”

52:32 Or is it that their discerning minds command them to this? Or are they a people who exceed all limits?

52:33 Or do they say, “He made it up”? In fact, they do not believe.

52:34 So let them produce a discourse like it if they are truthful.

52:35 Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators?

52:36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they are not certain.

52:37 Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord? Or are they the controllers?

52:38 Or do they have a stairway (to heaven) by means of which they listen? Then let their listener bring an evident manifestation.

52:39 Or is He to have the daughters and you^pl the sons?

52:40 Or do you^sg ask them for a reward so that they are weighed down by debt?

52:41 Or do they have (knowledge of) the hidden realm and they are writing it down?

52:42 Or do they want a plot? Rather, the plot will only befall the deniers.

52:43 Or do they have a god other than Allah? Highly Exalted is Allah above what they associate.

52:44 And if they were to see lumps of sky falling, they would say, “A mass of clouds.”

52:45 So leave^sg them until they meet their day in which they are stunned—

52:46 the day when their plots avail them nothing, nor are they supported.

52:47 And indeed, for those who did injustice there is a punishment apart from that, but most of them do not know.

52:48 So wait patiently for the decree of your^sg Lord, for you are before Our Eyes. And highly exalt your Lord with praise when you arise,

52:49 and highly exalt Him during the night and at the receding of the stars.
