| 52:1 | | By the Mount Sinai |
| 52:2 | | and b |
| 52:3 | | the Scripture penned on unrolled parchment |
| 52:4 | | by the much-visited House |
| 52:5 | | and by the lofty vault of the sky |
| 52:6 | | and by the swelling sea |
| 52:7 | | the punishment of your Lord shall certainly come to pas |
| 52:8 | | there is no one who could avert i |
| 52:9 | | on the Day when the skies are convulsed |
| 52:10 | | and the mountains shudder and shake |
| 52:11 | | Woe on that Day to those who deny the truth |
| 52:12 | | who divert themselves with idle chatter |
| 52:13 | | on that Day they shall be ruthlessly thrust into the Fire of Hell |
| 52:14 | | This is the fire which you used to deny |
| 52:15 | | Is this magic or do you not see |
| 52:16 | | Now enter it. Whether you behave patiently or impatiently will make no difference: you are only being repaid for what you have done |
| 52:17 | | Truly, the God-fearing will dwell [on that Day] in gardens and in bliss |
| 52:18 | | rejoicing in whatever their Lord has given them. Their Lord has saved them from the torment of the Fire |
| 52:19 | | Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for your good deeds |
| 52:20 | | reclining on couches arranged in rows. And We shall wed them to fair maidens with large beautiful eyes |
| 52:21 | | To those who have attained to faith We shall unite their offspring who have also followed them in faith, and We shall not let any of their good deeds go unrewarded; every human being is a pledge for whatever he has earned |
| 52:22 | | We shall provide them in abundance with such fruit and meat as they desire |
| 52:23 | | There, they shall pass from hand to hand a cup which does not lead to any idle talk or sin |
| 52:24 | | They will be waited upon by immortal youths, like pearls hidden in their shells |
| 52:25 | | They will converse with one another, putting questions to each other |
| 52:26 | | Before this, when we were among our families, we were full of fear of God's displeasur |
| 52:27 | | God has been gracious to us and has saved us from the torment of Hells intense hea |
| 52:28 | | before this, we used to pray to Him. Surely, He is the Beneficent, the Merciful |
| 52:29 | | Therefore continue to give warning, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer or a madman |
| 52:30 | | If they say, He is but a poet; we are waiting for some misfortune to befall him |
| 52:31 | | say [to them], Wait then: I too am waiting along with you |
| 52:32 | | is it their minds that prompt them [to say] this, or are they merely insolent people |
| 52:33 | | Or do they say, He has invented it himself? Indeed, they are not willing to believe |
| 52:34 | | Let them produce a scripture like it, if what they say is true |
| 52:35 | | Were they created out of nothing, or are they their own creators |
| 52:36 | | Did they create the heavens and the earth? No! They have no faith |
| 52:37 | | Do they own the treasures of your Lord, or have they been given charge of them |
| 52:38 | | Have they a ladder up to heaven by means of which they can overhear? Then let their listeners bring a clear proof |
| 52:39 | | Does God have daughters while you have sons |
| 52:40 | | Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they are overburdened by debt |
| 52:41 | | Do they possess knowledge of the unseen, so that they can write it down |
| 52:42 | | Do they want to hatch some plot? Those who deny the truth will be the victims of the plot |
| 52:43 | | Or have they a god other than God? Exalted be God over what they ascribe as partners [to Him] |
| 52:44 | | If they should see a part of the heavens falling down, they would say, A mass of clouds |
| 52:45 | | so leave them alone till they face the Day on which they will be struck dumb |
| 52:46 | | the Day when none of their scheming will be of the least avail to them, and they will receive no succour |
| 52:47 | | Truly, for those who do wrong there is a punishment besides that, though most of them do not know it |
| 52:48 | | So wait patiently for the Judgement of your Lordyou are certainly under Our watchful eye. And glorify and celebrate the praises of your Lord when you rise up [from your sleep] |
| 52:49 | | Extol His glory at night, and at the setting of the stars |
