Chapter 52, 49 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Mount,
I swear by the Mountain,
وَٱلطُّورِ
And a Scripture inscribed
And the Book written
وَكِتَٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ
On fine parchment unrolled,
In an outstretched fine parchment,
فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ
And the House frequented,
And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,
وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ
And the roof exalted,
And the elevated canopy
وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ
And the sea kept filled,
And the swollen sea
وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ
Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;
Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass;
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
There is none that can ward it off.
There shall be none to avert it;
مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ
On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,
On the day when the heaven shall move from side to side
يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا
And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,
And the mountains shall pass away passing away (altogether).
وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا
Then woe that day unto the deniers
So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth),
فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Who play in talk of grave matters;
Those who sport entering into vain discourses.
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ
The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell
The day on which they shall be driven away to the fire of hell with violence.
يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا
(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.
This is the fire which you used to give the lie to.
هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ
Is this magic, or do ye not see ?
Is it magic then or do you not see?
أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
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.
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.
ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and bliss
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell - fire.
Rejoicing because of what their Lord gave them, and their Lord saved them from the punishment of the burning fire.
فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,
Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did,
كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We will unite them to large - eyed beautiful ones.
مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
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.
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.
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ
And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
And We will aid them with fruit and flesh such as they desire.
وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
They shall pass therein from one to another a cup wherein there shall be nothing vain nor any sin.
يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ
And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ
And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,
And some of them shall advance towards others questioning each other.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families:
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ
But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.
But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the punishment of the hot wind:
فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ
Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.
Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is the Benign, the Merciful.
إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.
Therefore continue to remind, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer, or a madman.
