Chapter 52, 49 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Mount,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والطور
Waalttoori
And a Scripture inscribed
وكتاب مسطور
Wakitabin mastoorin
On fine parchment unrolled,
في رق منشور
Fee raqqin manshoorin
And the House frequented,
والبيت المعمور
Waalbayti almaAAmoori
And the roof exalted,
والسقف المرفوع
Waalssaqfi almarfooAAi
And the sea kept filled,
والبحر المسجور
Waalbahri almasjoori
Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;
إن عذاب ربك لواقع
Inna AAathaba rabbika lawaqiAAun
There is none that can ward it off.
ما له من دافع
Ma lahu min dafiAAin
On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,
يوم تمور السماء مورا
Yawma tamooru alssamao mawran
And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,
وتسير الجبال سيرا
Wataseeru aljibalu sayran
Then woe that day unto the deniers
فويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Fawaylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Who play in talk of grave matters;
الذين هم في خوض يلعبون
Allatheena hum fee khawdin yalAAaboona
The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell
يوم يدعون إلى نار جهنم دعا
Yawma yudaAAAAoona ila nari jahannama daAAAAan
(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.
هذه النار التي كنتم بها تكذبون
Hathihi alnnaru allatee kuntum biha tukaththiboona
Is this magic, or do ye not see ?
أفسحر هذا أم أنتم لا تبصرون
Afasihrun hatha am antum la tubsiroona
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.
اصلوها فاصبروا أو لا تصبروا سواء عليكم ۖ إنما تجزون ما كنتم تعملون
Islawha faisbiroo aw la tasbiroo sawaon AAalaykum innama tujzawna ma kuntum taAAmaloona
Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
إن المتقين في جنات ونعيم
Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaAAeemin
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell - fire.
فاكهين بما آتاهم ربهم ووقاهم ربهم عذاب الجحيم
Fakiheena bima atahum rabbuhum wawaqahum rabbuhum AAathaba aljaheemi
(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,
كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما كنتم تعملون
Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona
Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
متكئين على سرر مصفوفة ۖ وزوجناهم بحور عين
Muttakieena AAala sururin masfoofatin wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin
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.
والذين آمنوا واتبعتهم ذريتهم بإيمان ألحقنا بهم ذريتهم وما ألتناهم من عملهم من شيء ۚ كل امرئ بما كسب رهين
Waallatheena amanoo waittabaAAathum thurriyyatuhum bieemanin alhaqna bihim thurriyyatahum wama alatnahum min AAamalihim min shayin kullu imriin bima kasaba raheenun
And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
وأمددناهم بفاكهة ولحم مما يشتهون
Waamdadnahum bifakihatin walahmin mimma yashtahoona
There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
يتنازعون فيها كأسا لا لغو فيها ولا تأثيم
YatanazaAAoona feeha kasan la laghwun feeha wala tatheemun
And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
۞ ويطوف عليهم غلمان لهم كأنهم لؤلؤ مكنون
Wayatoofu AAalayhim ghilmanun lahum kaannahum luluon maknoonun
And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,
وأقبل بعضهم على بعض يتساءلون
Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona
Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
قالوا إنا كنا قبل في أهلنا مشفقين
Qaloo inna kunna qablu fee ahlina mushfiqeena
But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.
فمن الله علينا ووقانا عذاب السموم
Famanna Allahu AAalayna wawaqana AAathaba alssamoomi
Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.
إنا كنا من قبل ندعوه ۖ إنه هو البر الرحيم
Inna kunna min qablu nadAAoohu innahu huwa albarru alrraheemu
Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.
فذكر فما أنت بنعمت ربك بكاهن ولا مجنون
Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin
Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time ?
أم يقولون شاعر نتربص به ريب المنون
Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni
Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant.
قل تربصوا فإني معكم من المتربصين
Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena
Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk ?
أم تأمرهم أحلامهم بهذا ۚ أم هم قوم طاغون
Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona
Or say they: He hath invented it ? Nay, but they will not believe!
أم يقولون تقوله ۚ بل لا يؤمنون
Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona
Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful.
فليأتوا بحديث مثله إن كانوا صادقين
Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena
Or were they created out of naught ? Or are they the creators ?
أم خلقوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون
Am khuliqoo min ghayri shayin am humu alkhaliqoona
Or did they create the heavens and the earth ? Nay, but they are sure of nothing!
أم خلقوا السماوات والأرض ۚ بل لا يوقنون
Am khalaqoo alssamawati waalarda bal la yooqinoona
Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord ? Or have they been given charge (thereof) ?
أم عندهم خزائن ربك أم هم المصيطرون
Am AAindahum khazainu rabbika am humu almusaytiroona
Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest!
أم لهم سلم يستمعون فيه ۖ فليأت مستمعهم بسلطان مبين
Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisultanin mubeenin
Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons ?
أم له البنات ولكم البنون
Am lahu albanatu walakumu albanoona
Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt ?
أم تسألهم أجرا فهم من مغرم مثقلون
Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona
Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down ?
أم عندهم الغيب فهم يكتبون
Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona
Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger) ? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared!
أم يريدون كيدا ۖ فالذين كفروا هم المكيدون
Am yureedoona kaydan faallatheena kafaroo humu almakeedoona
Or have they any god beside Allah ? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
أم لهم إله غير الله ۚ سبحان الله عما يشركون
Am lahum ilahun ghayru Allahi subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona
And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds.
وإن يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم
Wain yaraw kisfan mina alssamai saqitan yaqooloo sahabun markoomun
Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder - stricken,
فذرهم حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي فيه يصعقون
Fatharhum hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoona
A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped.
يوم لا يغني عنهم كيدهم شيئا ولا هم ينصرون
Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhum shayan wala hum yunsaroona
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not.
وإن للذين ظلموا عذابا دون ذلك ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Wainna lillatheena thalamoo AAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona
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,
واصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا ۖ وسبح بحمد ربك حين تقوم
Waisbir lihukmi rabbika fainnaka biaAAyunina wasabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoomu
And in the night - time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.
ومن الليل فسبحه وإدبار النجوم
Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waidbara alnnujoomi
