52. At-Tur

وَٱلطُّورِ ١

By the Mount,

وَكِتَٰبٍۢ مَّسْطُورٍۢ ٢

And a Scripture inscribed

فِى رَقٍّۢ مَّنشُورٍۢ ٣

On fine parchment unrolled,

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ ٤

And the House frequented,

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ ٥

And the roof exalted,

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ ٦

And the sea kept filled,

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ٧

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

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍۢ ٨

There is none that can ward it off.

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا ٩

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

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا ١٠

And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,

فَوَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١١

Then woe that day unto the deniers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ١٢

Who play in talk of grave matters;

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ١٣

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

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٤

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

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ١٥

Is this magic, or do ye not see?

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٦

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.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَنَعِيمٍۢ ١٧

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

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ١٨

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

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٩

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

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّصْفُوفَةٍۢ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ٢٠

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

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌۭ ٢١

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.

وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍۢ وَلَحْمٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ٢٢

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

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا لَّا لَغْوٌۭ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌۭ ٢٣

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

۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌۭ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ٢٤

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

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٢٥

And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ ٢٦

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

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ ٢٧

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

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٢٨

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

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍۢ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ ٢٩

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

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌۭ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ ٣٠

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

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ٣١

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

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ ٣٢

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

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٣٣

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

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٤

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

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ ٣٥

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

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ٣٦

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

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ ٣٧

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

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌۭ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ٣٨

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

أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ٣٩

Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons?

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ٤٠

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

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ٤١

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

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ ٤٢

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

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ٤٣

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

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًۭا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌۭ مَّرْكُومٌۭ ٤٤

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

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ ٤٥

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

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ٤٦

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

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًۭا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٧

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

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ٤٨

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,

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ ٤٩

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