Al Tur

1 Waalttoori

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

2 Wakitabin mastoorin

2 And a Scripture inscribed

3 Fee raqqin manshoorin

3 On fine parchment unrolled,

4 Waalbayti almaAAmoori

4 And the House frequented,

5 Waalssaqfi almarfooAAi

5 And the roof exalted,

6 Waalbahri almasjoori

6 And the sea kept filled,

7 Inna AAathaba rabbika lawaqiAAun

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

8 Ma lahu min dafiAAin

8 There is none that can ward it off.

9 Yawma tamooru alssamao mawran

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

10 Wataseeru aljibalu sayran

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

11 Fawaylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

11 Then woe that day unto the deniers

12 Allatheena hum fee khawdin yalAAaboona

12 Who play in talk of grave matters;

13 Yawma yudaAAAAoona ila nari jahannama daAAAAan

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

14 Hathihi alnnaru allatee kuntum biha tukaththiboona

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

15 Afasihrun hatha am antum la tubsiroona

15 Is this magic, or do ye not see ?

16 Islawha faisbiroo aw la tasbiroo sawaon AAalaykum innama tujzawna ma kuntum taAAmaloona

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.

17 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaAAeemin

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

18 Fakiheena bima atahum rabbuhum wawaqahum rabbuhum AAathaba aljaheemi

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

19 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona

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

20 Muttakieena AAala sururin masfoofatin wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

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

21 Waallatheena amanoo waittabaAAathum thurriyyatuhum bieemanin alhaqna bihim thurriyyatahum wama alatnahum min AAamalihim min shayin kullu imriin bima kasaba raheenun

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.

22 Waamdadnahum bifakihatin walahmin mimma yashtahoona

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

23 YatanazaAAoona feeha kasan la laghwun feeha wala tatheemun

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

24 Wayatoofu AAalayhim ghilmanun lahum kaannahum luluon maknoonun

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

25 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

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

26 Qaloo inna kunna qablu fee ahlina mushfiqeena

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

27 Famanna Allahu AAalayna wawaqana AAathaba alssamoomi

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

28 Inna kunna min qablu nadAAoohu innahu huwa albarru alrraheemu

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

29 Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin

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

30 Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni

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

31 Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena

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

32 Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona

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

33 Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona

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

34 Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena

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

35 Am khuliqoo min ghayri shayin am humu alkhaliqoona

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

36 Am khalaqoo alssamawati waalarda bal la yooqinoona

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

37 Am AAindahum khazainu rabbika am humu almusaytiroona

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

38 Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisultanin mubeenin

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

39 Am lahu albanatu walakumu albanoona

39 Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons ?

40 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

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

41 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

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

42 Am yureedoona kaydan faallatheena kafaroo humu almakeedoona

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

43 Am lahum ilahun ghayru Allahi subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona

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

44 Wain yaraw kisfan mina alssamai saqitan yaqooloo sahabun markoomun

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

45 Fatharhum hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoona

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

46 Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhum shayan wala hum yunsaroona

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

47 Wainna lillatheena thalamoo AAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

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

48 Waisbir lihukmi rabbika fainnaka biaAAyunina wasabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoomu

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,

49 Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waidbara alnnujoomi

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