52. At-Tur

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلطُّورِ﴿١﴾

By the Mount

وَكِتَٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ﴿٢﴾

And a Scripture inscribed

فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ﴿٣﴾

On fine parchment unrolled

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ﴿٤﴾

And the House frequented

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ﴿٥﴾

And the roof exalted

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ﴿٦﴾

And the sea kept filled

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ﴿٧﴾

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

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ﴿٨﴾

There is none that can ward it off

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا﴿٩﴾

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

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا﴿١٠﴾

And the mountains move away with (awful) movement

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ﴿١١﴾

Then woe that day unto the deniers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ﴿١٢﴾

Who play in talk of grave matters

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا﴿١٣﴾

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

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ﴿١٤﴾

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

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ﴿١٥﴾

Is this magic, or do ye not see

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴿١٦﴾

Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ﴿١٧﴾

Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ﴿١٨﴾

Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴿١٩﴾

(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ﴿٢٠﴾

Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ﴿٢١﴾

And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned

وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ﴿٢٢﴾

And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ﴿٢٣﴾

There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin

وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ﴿٢٤﴾

And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ﴿٢٥﴾

And some of them draw near unto others, questioning

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ﴿٢٦﴾

Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ﴿٢٧﴾

But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴿٢٨﴾

Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ﴿٢٩﴾

Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ﴿٣٠﴾

Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ﴿٣١﴾

Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ﴿٣٢﴾

Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ﴿٣٣﴾

Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but they will not believe

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ﴿٣٤﴾

Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ﴿٣٥﴾

Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ﴿٣٦﴾

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ﴿٣٧﴾

Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord? Or have they been given charge (thereof)

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ﴿٣٨﴾

Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest

أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ﴿٣٩﴾

Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ﴿٤٠﴾

Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ﴿٤١﴾

Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ﴿٤٢﴾

Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ﴿٤٣﴾

Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ﴿٤٤﴾

And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ﴿٤٥﴾

Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder-stricken

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ﴿٤٦﴾

A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴿٤٧﴾

And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ﴿٤٨﴾

So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ﴿٤٩﴾

And in the night-time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars
