[51:52]

Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

[51:53]

Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

[51:54]

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

[51:55]

And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

[51:56]

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

[51:57]

I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed

[51:58]

Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

[51:59]

And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

[51:60]

And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.

The Mount

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[52:1]

By the Mount,

[52:2]

And a Scripture inscribed

[52:3]

On fine parchment unrolled,

[52:4]

And the House frequented,

[52:5]

And the roof exalted,

[52:6]

And the sea kept filled,

[52:7]

Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;

[52:8]

There is none that can ward it off.

[52:9]

On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,

[52:10]

And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,

[52:11]

Then woe that day unto the deniers

[52:12]

Who play in talk of grave matters;

[52:13]

The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell

[52:14]

(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.
