Al Tur

Shakir

1 I swear by the Mountain,

Shakir

2 And the Book written

Shakir

3 In an outstretched fine parchment,

Shakir

4 And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,

Shakir

5 And the elevated canopy

Shakir

6 And the swollen sea

Shakir

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

Shakir

8 There shall be none to avert it;

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

12 Those who sport entering into vain discourses.

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

15 Is it magic then or do you not see?

Shakir

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.

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

19 Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did,

Shakir

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

Shakir

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.

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

39 Or has He daughters while you have sons?

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

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;

Shakir

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