Al Tur

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the Tur (Mount)

1 Waalttoori

2 And by a Book Inscribed

2 Wakitabin mastoorin

3 In parchment unrolled.

3 Fee raqqin manshoorin

4 And by Al-Bait-ul-Ma'mur (the house over the heavens parallel to the Ka'bah at Makkah, continuously visited by the angels).

4 Waalbayti almaAAmoori

5 And by the roof raised high (i.e. the heaven).

5 Waalssaqfi almarfooAAi

6 And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of Resurrection).

6 Waalbahri almasjoori

7 Verily, the Torment of your Lord will surely come to pass.

7 Inna AAathaba rabbika lawaqiAAun

8 There is none that can avert it.

8 Ma lahu min dafiAAin

9 On the Day when the heaven will shake with a dreadful shaking,

9 Yawma tamooru alssamao mawran

10 And the mountains will move away with a (horrible) movement.

10 Wataseeru aljibalu sayran

11 Then woe that Day to the beliers.

11 Fawaylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

12 Who are playing in falsehood .

12 Allatheena hum fee khawdin yalAAaboona

13 The Day when they will be pushed down by force to the Fire of Hell, with a horrible, forceful pushing.

13 Yawma yudaAAAAoona ila nari jahannama daAAAAan

14 This is the Fire which you used to belie.

14 Hathihi alnnaru allatee kuntum biha tukaththiboona

15 Is this magic, or do you not see?

15 Afasihrun hatha am antum la tubsiroona

16 Taste you therein its heat and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do.

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

17 Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in Gardens (Paradise), and Delight.

17 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaAAeemin

18 Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them, and (the fact that) their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.

18 Fakiheena bima atahum rabbuhum wawaqahum rabbuhum AAathaba aljaheemi

19 "Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do."

19 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona

20 They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to Hur: (female, fair ones) with wide lovely eyes.

20 Muttakieena AAala sururin masfoofatin wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

21 And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith: to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. Every person is a pledge for that which he has earned.

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

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

22 Waamdadnahum bifakihatin walahmin mimma yashtahoona

23 There they shall pass from hand to hand a (wine) cup, free from any Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk between them), and free from sin (because it will be lawful for them to drink).

23 YatanazaAAoona feeha kasan la laghwun feeha wala tatheemun

24 And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls.

24 Wayatoofu AAalayhim ghilmanun lahum kaannahum luluon maknoonun

25 And some of them draw near to others, questioning.

25 Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

26 Saying: "Aforetime, we were afraid (of the punishment of Allah) in the midst of our families.

26 Qaloo inna kunna qablu fee ahlina mushfiqeena

27 "So Allah has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of the Fire.

27 Famanna Allahu AAalayna wawaqana AAathaba alssamoomi

28 "Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."

28 Inna kunna min qablu nadAAoohu innahu huwa albarru alrraheemu

29 Therefore, remind (mankind of Islamic Monotheism, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). By the Grace of Allah, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a madman.

29 Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin

30 Or do they say: "(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a poet! We await for him some calamity by time!"

30 Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni

31 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Wait! I am with you among the waiters!"

31 Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena

32 Do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)] or are they people transgressing all bounds?

32 Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona

33 Or do they say: "He (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has forged it (this Qur'an)?" Nay! They believe not!

33 Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona

34 Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful.

34 Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena

35 Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

35 Am khuliqoo min ghayri shayin am humu alkhaliqoona

36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

36 Am khalaqoo alssamawati waalarda bal la yooqinoona

37 Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?

37 Am AAindahum khazainu rabbika am humu almusaytiroona

38 Or have they a stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the angels)? Then let their listener produce some manifest proof.

38 Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisultanin mubeenin

39 Or has He (Allah) only daughters and you have sons?

39 Am lahu albanatu walakumu albanoona

40 Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask a wage from them (for your preaching of Islamic Monotheism) so that they are burdened with a load of debt?

40 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

41 Or that the Ghaib (Unseen) is with them, and they write it down?

41 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

42 Or do they intend a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) are themselves plotted against!

42 Am yureedoona kaydan faallatheena kafaroo humu almakeedoona

43 Or have they an ilah (a god) other than Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partners (to Him)

43 Am lahum ilahun ghayru Allahi subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona

44 And if they were to see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"

44 Wain yaraw kisfan mina alssamai saqitan yaqooloo sahabun markoomun

45 So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror).

45 Fatharhum hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoona

46 The Day when their plotting shall not avail them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their torment in Hell).

46 Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhum shayan wala hum yunsaroona

47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment (i.e. the torment in this world and in their graves) before this; but most of them know not. (Tafsir At-Tabari).

47 Wainna lillatheena thalamoo AAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

48 So wait patiently (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes ; and glorify the Praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep.

48 Waisbir lihukmi rabbika fainnaka biaAAyunina wasabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoomu

49 And in the nighttime also glorify His Praises - and at the setting of the stars.

49 Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waidbara alnnujoomi
