| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Mount, The Mountain(at-Tur)
--- |
|---|
| 52:1 | | By the Mountain |
| 52:2 | | And a Book writte |
| 52:3 | | On unfolded vellum |
| 52:4 | | And the frequented House |
| 52:5 | | And the elevated canopy |
| 52:6 | | And the swollen sea |
| 52:7 | | The chastisement of thy Lord will surely come to pass - |
| 52:8 | | There is none to avert it |
| 52:9 | | On the day when the heaven will be in a state of commotion |
| 52:10 | | And the mountains will pass away, fleeing |
| 52:11 | | Woe on that day to the deniers |
| 52:12 | | Who amuse themselves by vain talk |
| 52:13 | | The day when they are driven to hell-fire with violence |
| 52:14 | | This is the Fire, which you gave the lie to |
| 52:15 | | Is it magic or do you not see |
| 52:16 | | Burn in it, then bear (it) patiently, or bear (it) not, it is the same to you. You are requited only for what you did |
| 52:17 | | The dutiful will be surely in Gardens and bliss |
| 52:18 | | Rejoicing because of what their Lord has given them; and their Lord saved them from the chastisement of the burning Fire |
| 52:19 | | Eat and drink with pleasure for what you did |
| 52:20 | | Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We shall join them to pure; beautiful ones |
| 52:21 | | And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith -- We unite with them their off-spring and We shall deprive them of naught of their work. Every man is pledged for what he does |
| 52:22 | | And We shall aid them with fruit and flesh, as they desire |
| 52:23 | | They pass therein from one to another a cup, wherein is neither vanity, nor sin |
| 52:24 | | And round them go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls |
| 52:25 | | And they will advance to each other, questioning - |
| 52:26 | | Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families |
| 52:27 | | But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the chastisement of the hot wind |
| 52:28 | | Surely We called upon Him before. Surely, He is the Benign, the Mercifu |
| 52:29 | | So remind for, by the grace of thy Lord thou art no soothsayer, nor madman |
| 52:30 | | Or they say: A poet -- we wait for him the evil accidents of time |
| 52:31 | | Say: Wait, I too wait along with you |
| 52:32 | | Or do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people |
| 52:33 | | Or say they: He has forged it. Nay, they have no faith |
| 52:34 | | Then let them bring a saying like it, if they are truthful |
| 52:35 | | Or were they created without a (creative) agency? Or are they the creators |
| 52:36 | | Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they are sure of nothing |
| 52:37 | | Or have they the treasures of thy Lord with them? Or have they absolute authority |
| 52:38 | | Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority |
| 52:39 | | Or has He daughters and you have sons |
| 52:40 | | Or askest thou a reward from them so that they are over-burdened by a debt |
| 52:41 | | Or possess they the unseen, so they write (it) down |
| 52:42 | | Or do they intend a plot? But those who disbelieve will be the ensnared ones in the plot |
| 52:43 | | Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him) |
| 52:44 | | And if they were to see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled-up clouds |
| 52:45 | | Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they are smitten with punishment |
| 52:46 | | The day when their struggle will avail them naught, nor will they be helped |
| 52:47 | | And surely for those who do wrong there is a chastisement besides that; but most of them know not |
| 52:48 | | And wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, for surely thou art before Our eyes, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord, when thou risest |
| 52:49 | | And in the night, give Him glory, too, and at the setting of the stars |
