52:1  By the mount,

52:2  A recorded book.

52:3  In paper published.

52:4  The frequented/built sanctuary.

52:5  The ceiling which is elevated.

52:6  The sea that is set aflame.

52:7  Your Lord's retribution is unavoidable.

52:8  Nothing can stop it.

52:9  The day when the sky will violently thunder.

52:10  The mountains will be wiped out.

52:11  Woes on that day to the deniers.

52:12  Who are in their recklessness, playing.

52:13  The day they will be called into hell, forcibly:

52:14  "This is the fire which you used to deny!"

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

52:16  "Enter it, whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. You are only being requited for what you used to do."

52:17  The righteous are in paradises and bliss.

52:18  Delighted by what their Lord has granted them; and their Lord has spared them the retribution of hell.

52:19  Eat and drink happily because of what you used to do.

52:20  They recline on arranged furnishings, and We coupled them with wonderful companions.

52:21  Those who affirmed, and their progeny also followed them in affirmation; We will have their progeny join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did.

52:22  We will supply them with fruit and meat such as they desire.

52:23  They will exchange one with another a cup in which there is no harm, nor regret.

52:24  Around them will be children like protected pearls.

52:25  They came to one another asking.

52:26  They said, "We used to be compassionate among our people."

52:27  "God thus blessed us, and has spared us the agony of the fiery winds."

52:28  "We used to implore Him before; He is the Kind, the Compassionate."

52:29  Therefore, you shall remind. For by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor mad.

52:30  Or do they say, "He is a poet; so let us just wait until a disaster befalls him."

52:31  Say, "Continue waiting; for I will wait along with you."

52:32  Or do their dreams dictate this to them, or are they a transgressing people?

52:33  Or do they say, "He made it all up"? No, they simply do not affirm.

52:34  Let them produce a hadith like this, if they are truthful.

52:35  Or were they created from nothing? Or was it they who created?

52:36  Or did they create the heavens and the earth? No, they do not reason.

52:37  Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Are they in control?

52:38  Or do they have a stairway that enables them to listen? Then let their Hearers show their proof.

52:39  Or to Him belong the daughters, and to you belong the sons?

52:40  Or do you ask them for a wage, thus they are burdened by the fine?

52:41  Or do they know the future, thus they have it recorded?

52:42  Or do they intend to scheme? Indeed, it is the ingrates who are schemed against.

52:43  Or do they have another god besides God? God be glorified above what they set up.

52:44  If they see an object falling from the sky, they will say, "Piled clouds!"

52:45  So disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.

52:46  The day when their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.

52:47  For those who transgressed will be retribution beyond this, but most of them do not know.

52:48  You shall be patient for the judgment of your Lord, for you are in Our sights, and glorify the praise of your Lord when you get up.

52:49  Also during the night glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars.
