At-Tur ("The Mount")
▲ Previous surah - Adh-Dhariyat ("The Winnowing Winds") ▲
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Compassionate.
(52:1) And the mount!
(52:2) And a written recording!
(52:3) In paper published.
(52:4) The frequented/built sanctuary.
(52:5) The ceiling which is elevated.
(52:6) The sea that is set aflame.
(52:7) Your Lord's retribution is unavoidable.
(52:8) Nothing can stop it.
(52:9) The day when the sky will violently thunder.
(52:10) The mountains will be wiped out.
(52:11) Woes on that day to the deniers.
(52:12) Who are in their recklessness, playing.
(52:13) The day they will be called into hell, forcibly:
(52:14) "This is the fire which you used to deny!"
(52:15) "Is this magic, or do you not see?"
(52:16) "Enter it, whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. You are only being requited for what you used to do."
(52:17) The righteous are in paradises and bliss.
(52:18) Delighted by what their Lord has granted them; and their Lord has spared them the retribution of hell.
(52:19) Eat and drink happily because of what you used to do.
(52:20) They recline on arranged furnishings, and We coupled them with wonderful companions.
(52:21) Those who acknowledged, and their progeny also followed them in acknowledgement; We will have their progeny join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did.
(52:22) We will supply them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
(52:23) They will exchange one with another a cup in which there is no harm, nor regret.
(52:24) Around them will be children like protected pearls.
(52:25) They came to one another asking.
(52:26) They said, "We used to be compassionate among our people."
(52:27) "God thus blessed us, and has spared us the agony of the fiery winds."
(52:28) "We used to implore Him before; He is the Kind, the Compassionate."
(52:29) Therefore, you shall remind. For by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor mad.
(52:30) Or do they say, "He is a poet; so let us just wait until a disaster befalls him."
(52:31) Say, "Continue waiting; for I will wait along with you."
(52:32) Or do their dreams dictate this to them, or are they a transgressing people?
(52:33) Or do they say, "He made it all up"? No, they simply do not acknowledge.
(52:34) Let them produce a hadith like this (Quran), if they are truthful.
(52:35) Or were they created from nothing? Or was it they who created?
(52:36) Or did they create the heavens and the earth? No, they do not reason.
(52:37) Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Are they mythmakers?
(52:38) Or do they have a stairway that enables them to listen? Then let their Hearers show their proof.
(52:39) Or to Him belong the daughters, and to you belong the sons?
(52:40) Or do you ask them for a wage, thus they are burdened by the fine?
(52:41) Or do they know the future, thus they have it recorded?
(52:42) Or do they intend to scheme? Indeed, it is the ingrates who are schemed against.
(52:43) Or do they have another god besides God? God be glorified above what they set up.
(52:44) If they see an object falling from the sky, they will say, "Piled clouds!"
(52:45) So disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.
(52:46) The day when their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.
(52:47) For those who transgressed will be retribution beyond this, but most of them do not know.
(52:48) So be patient for the judgment of your Lord, for you are in Our eyes, and glorify the praise of your Lord when you stand (in the prayer).
(52:49) Also during the night glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars.
