1 By the Mount (of Revelation);

1 By the mount

1 I swear by the Mountain,

2 By a Decree inscribed

2 And [by] a Book inscribed

2 And the Book written

3 In a Scroll unfolded;

3 In parchment spread open

3 In an outstretched fine parchment,

4 By the much - frequented Fane;

4 And [by] the frequented House

4 And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,

5 By the Canopy Raised High;

5 And [by] the heaven raised high

5 And the elevated canopy

6 And by the Ocean filled with Swell; -

6 And [by] the sea filled [with fire],

6 And the swollen sea

7 Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass; -

7 Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

7 Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass;

8 There is none can avert it; -

8 Of it there is no preventer.

8 There shall be none to avert it;

9 On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

9 On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

9 On the day when the heaven shall move from side to side

10 And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

10 And the mountains will pass on, departing -

10 And the mountains shall pass away passing away (altogether).

11 Then woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood; -

11 Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

11 So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth),

12 That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.

12 Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

12 Those who sport entering into vain discourses.

13 That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.

13 The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],

13 The day on which they shall be driven away to the fire of hell with violence.

14 "This:, it will be said, "Is the Fire, - which ye were wont to deny!

14 "This is the Fire which you used to deny.

14 This is the fire which you used to give the lie to.

15 "Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?

15 Then is this magic, or do you not see?

15 Is it magic then or do you not see?

16 "Burn ye therein: the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds."

16 [Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."

16 Enter into it, then bear (it) patiently, or do not bear (it) patiently, it is the same to you; you shall be requited only (for) what you did.

17 As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness, -

17 Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,

17 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and bliss

18 Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire.

18 Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.

18 Rejoicing because of what their Lord gave them, and their Lord saved them from the punishment of the burning fire.

19 (To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds."

19 [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

19 Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did,

20 They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.

20 They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

20 Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We will unite them to large - eyed beautiful ones.

21 And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, - to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds.

21 And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.

21 And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will unite with them their offspring and We will not diminish to them aught of their work; every man is responsible for what he shall have wrought.

22 And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire.

22 And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.

22 And We will aid them with fruit and flesh such as they desire.

23 They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.

23 They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.

23 They shall pass therein from one to another a cup wherein there shall be nothing vain nor any sin.

24 Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well - guarded.

24 There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well - protected.

24 And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.

25 They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.

25 And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

25 And some of them shall advance towards others questioning each other.

26 They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people.

26 They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah].

26 Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families:

27 "But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.

27 So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

27 But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the punishment of the hot wind:

28 "Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"

28 Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

28 Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is the Benign, the Merciful.

29 Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

29 So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

29 Therefore continue to remind, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer, or a madman.

30 Or do they say: - "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

30 Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

30 Or do they say: A poet, we wait for him the evil accidents of time.

31 Say thou: "Await ye! - I too will wait along with you!"

31 Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

31 Say: Wait, for surely I too with you am of those who wait.

32 Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?

32 Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

32 Nay! do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people?

33 Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!

33 Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.

33 Or do they say: He has forged it. Nay! they do not believe.

34 Let them then produce a recital like unto it, - If (it be) they speak the truth!

34 Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

34 Then let them bring an announcement like it if they are truthful.

35 Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

35 Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

35 Or were they created without there being anything, or are they the creators?

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! they have no certainty.

37 Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)?

37 Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

37 Or have they the treasures of your Lord with them? Or have they been set in absolute authority?

38 Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.

38 Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

38 Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority.

39 Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?

39 Or has He daughters while you have sons?

39 Or has He daughters while you have sons?

40 Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt? -

40 Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

40 Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they are overburdened by a debt?

41 Or that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down?

41 Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

41 Or have they the unseen so that they write (it) down?

42 Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot!

42 Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

42 Or do they desire a war? But those who disbelieve shall be the vanquished ones in war.

43 Or have they a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him!

43 Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

43 Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him).

44 Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"

44 And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

44 And if they should see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled up clouds.

45 So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror), -

45 So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

45 Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror):

46 The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them.

46 The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

46 The day on which their struggle shall not avail them aught, nor shall they be helped.

47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not.

47 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

47 And surely those who are unjust shall have a punishment besides that (in the world), but most of them do not know.

48 Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth,

48 And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.

48 And wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, for surely you are before Our eyes, and sing the praise of your Lord when you rise;

49 And for part of the night also praise thou Him, - and at the retreat of the stars!

49 And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.

49 And in the night, give Him glory too, and at the setting of the stars.
