Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Mount,

Pickthall

2 And a Scripture inscribed

Pickthall

3 On fine parchment unrolled,

Pickthall

4 And the House frequented,

Pickthall

5 And the roof exalted,

Pickthall

6 And the sea kept filled,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

8 There is none that can ward it off.

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

10 And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,

Pickthall

11 Then woe that day unto the deniers

Pickthall

12 Who play in talk of grave matters;

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

15 Is this magic, or do ye not see ?

Pickthall

16 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.

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

21 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.

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

25 And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

39 Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons ?

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

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

Pickthall

48 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,

Pickthall

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