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

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

2 And by a Book Inscribed

2 And a Scripture inscribed

3 In parchment unrolled.

3 On fine parchment unrolled,

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 And the House frequented,

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

5 And the roof exalted,

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

6 And the sea kept filled,

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

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

8 There is none that can avert it.

8 There is none that can ward it off.

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

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

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

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

11 Then woe that Day to the beliers.

11 Then woe that day unto the deniers

12 Who are playing in falsehood .

12 Who play in talk of grave matters;

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

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

14 This is the Fire which you used to belie.

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

15 Is this magic, or do you not see?

15 Is this magic, or do ye not see ?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

39 Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons ?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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