1 By the Mount (of Revelation);

1 By the mount

2 By a Decree inscribed

2 And [by] a Book inscribed

3 In a Scroll unfolded;

3 In parchment spread open

4 By the much - frequented Fane;

4 And [by] the frequented House

5 By the Canopy Raised High;

5 And [by] the heaven raised high

6 And by the Ocean filled with Swell; -

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

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

7 Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

8 There is none can avert it; -

8 Of it there is no preventer.

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

9 On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

10 And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

10 And the mountains will pass on, departing -

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

11 Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

12 That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.

12 Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

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],

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.

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

15 Then is this magic, 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."

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

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

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

25 And they will approach one another, inquiring of 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].

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.

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."

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.

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?"

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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]?

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.

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]?

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.

39 Or has He only daughters and ye 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?

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?

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.

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.

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."

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 -

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.

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.

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.

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.
