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
