52 The Mount -At-Tur
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[52.1] By the Mount
[52.2] and by the Book in lines
[52.3] in an exposed parchment
[52.4] by the Visited House,
[52.5] and the uplifted roof
[52.6] and the sea that is full
[52.7] surely, the punishment of your Lord is about to
come,
[52.8] there is none to prevent it.
[52.9] Upon the Day when the heaven spins dizzily
[52.10] and the mountains move, moving.
[52.11] On that Day woe to
those who belied
[52.12] those who are in
plunging, playing.
[52.13] On that Day when they
shall be pitched into the Fire of Gehenna (Hell),
[52.14] (it will be said to them): 'This is the Fire
which you belied!
[52.15] Is this magic, or is it
that you do you not see?
[52.16] Roast in it, bear it with or without patience,
it is the same, you are only being recompensed for that which you used to do. '
[52.17] But in the Gardens the righteous shall live in
bliss,
[52.18] rejoicing in all their
Lord has given them, and their Lord will guard them against the punishment of
Hell.
[52.19] (It will be said): 'Eat and drink with a good
appetite because of that which you did. '
[52.20] (They shall be) reclining on couches ranged in
rows and We shall wed them to houris (virgins of
[52.21] Those who believe, and whose descendants follow
in belief, We will join their descendants to them. And We will not reduce them
of anything of their deeds. Every one is pledged for what he has earned.
[52.22] We shall give them fruits and meat as they
desire.
[52.23] There they will pass a goblet to one another
with neither idle talk nor sin,
[52.24] and youths, of their own, shall pass among them
as if they were hidden pearls.
[52.25] They will go to one another asking each other
questions:
[52.26] 'When we were among our people, ' they will say,
'we were ever fearful,
[52.27] but Allah has been gracious to us and has
protected us from the punishment of the burning wind.
[52.28] Before, we were supplicating to Him. He is the
Giving, the Most Merciful. '
[52.29] Therefore, remind. By the Favor of Allah, you
are neither a soothsayer, nor mad.
[52.30] Or do they say: 'He is a poet, we are waiting
for some misfortune to befall him? '
[52.31] Say: 'Wait if you will; I shall be waiting with
you. '
[52.32] Or, do their intellects order them to do this?
Or, are they an insolent people?
[52.33] Do they say: 'He has invented it? ' No, they do
not believe.
[52.34] Let them produce a phrase like it, if what they
say is true!
[52.35] Or, were they created out of nothing? Or, were
they their own creators?
[52.36] Or, did they create the heavens and the earth?
No, their belief is not certain!
[52.37] Or, are the treasures of your Lord in their
keeping? Or, are they the controllers?
[52.38] Or, do they have a ladder on which they listen?
Then let any of them that has listened bring a clear authority.
[52.39] Or, has He daughters, and they sons?
[52.40] Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they
become weighed down in debt?
[52.41] Or, is the Unseen in their keeping, so they are
writing it down?
[52.42] Or, do they desire to outwit? The unbelievers
are the outwitted.
[52.43] Or, do they have a god, other than Allah?
Exaltations to Allah above that which they associate!
[52.44] Even if they saw lumps falling from the sky they
would say: 'A massed cloud! '
[52.45] So leave them till they encounter their Day in
which they shall be thunderstruck.
[52.46] The Day when their guile shall not relieve them
a thing, and they shall not be helped.
[52.47] For the harmdoers there is indeed, a punishment
before that, but most of them do not know.
[52.48] And be patient under the Judgement of your Lord,
surely, you are before Our Eyes. And exalt with the praise of your Lord when
you arise,
[52.49] and exalt Him in the night and at the declining
of the stars.
